Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson-344 pages

I started reading this for last month's challenge, but didn't finish it in time. I enjoyed reading this novel about Amy, a teenage girl from California, whose mom has moved across the country to Connecticut to start a new job. Amy's dad died in a car accident with Amy as the driver, so she is not driving at the beginning of the story. Her mom arranges for her to take their Jeep across country from CA to CT with a childhood friend, Roger. Amy and Roger deviate from the prescribed course of travel almost immediately and go on a much longer than anticipated road trip. Each learns some things along the way, and they begin to fall for each other as the trip progresses. Overall, this was a satisfying road trip novel.
