Amy and Rodger's Epic Detour
By Morgan Matson
Genre: Young Adult Contemporary
Personal Rating: 7/10

Amy Curry's summer is looking pretty dreary. Her mother is moving her across the country and expects Amy to get the car from California to Connecticut. One problem: after a car accident killed her father, Amy is terrified of driving to the store, let alone across America. This is where Rodger Sullivan comes in. He's a distant family friend who needs to get to Pennsylvania. He offers to drive Amy to Connecticut and all she has to do is endure a few days trapped in a car with a near stranger. But a few detours take them off her mother's carefully planned trip agenda, and leads them to seeing more of the country than they planned.

This is such a fun and interactive book. Every few pages there are things like receipts and playlists and pictures that go along with the story. The visuals really added to the story and fun of the road trip. The plot line was a little slow at times because the majority of it is them driving, but I still thought it was really cute and that there was some good character development.

There is some language in this book and an implied sex scene, but nothing graphic.
