3.0

Ironically, the road trip part of The Road Trip is less than half of the book. It might even be closer to a third. And since I read this specifically for the road trip aspect, I was more and more disappointed as the book went on. 

With that in mind plus the fact that romance seriously isn't my genre, take my emphatic 3 stars with a grain of salt. 

It wasn't the worst I've ever read and, despite the fact that I had more than a handful of issues with it (on top of the road trip taking up significantly less space than the sections in the past), I was also intrigued enough to see it through to the end. So, if romance is your genre, you'll most likely get more out of The Road Trip than I did.
