A road trip to remember

Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

Summary: Amy feels like life just can't go right for her after the death of her father. She's struggling with moving on, especially because her family is so divided with her mother focusing on uprooting the family from California to Connecticut. Amy must meet her mother in Connecticut with the help of an old family friend, Roger, who happens to be cute -- and Amy's age ;-). The two have to confront their baggage and find a way to survive their journey down the longest road in America.

Thoughts: This book has such heart and feeling in it, it's so hard not to be able to relate to Amy. You can feel her pain on the death of her father, and her growing attraction for Roger. Her brother is turning to the wrong crowd and "extracurriculars" to get him through this tough time. Amy and Roger have an interesting drive across the country.
