The Road Trip - Beth O’Leary
I was so so excited when this came through my door yesterday afternoon. I absolutely love Beth’s writing and I was so intrigued by the premise of this book. It came in this stunning custom wrapping paper I tried so hard not to rip.
The Road Trip follows an ex-couple, their friends and a stranger on a road trip up to Scotland for a wedding, and it explores the messy history they all have. Each character has their own stories, and the way their lives intertwine is ingenious. Quite often with romantic comedy style books, I find that it’s only the main couple who have their own lives. But with Beth, I feel she adds more depths to her secondary characters, and that makes the whole book so much more enticing.
I read this book in less than 24 hours, which probably says a lot about how much I loved it. It had the easy to read style I love of Beth’s, but with a level of intrigue and mystery, I felt was really different from her other books. The flashbacks and the uncovering of what happened really grips you and you can’t put it down.
It comes out in April and is available to preorder now! (affiliate link)
And if you’d like to hear my interview Beth, I’ve done so twice! And you can listen to this on my podcast, In Our Own Words.
This book was gifted to me, but the review is entirely my own.
