Side Trip by Kerry Lonsdale
5.0

Another hit from Kerry!

Joy is on a road trip driving along Route 66 from California towards her fiancé in New York. In her pocket is a list- a bucket list of her deceased sister. Joy is taking the trip that Judy was going to-in her honor.... But holding onto a big secret.

Dylan is the son of a famous singer. He just wants to write songs for others to perform. He's headed to Chicago-playing in dive bars along the way. He's doing this to honor his father's last wishes. He doesn't want to but there's a secret he's holding onto.

They find themselves together. Taking side trips along the way. What happens is a great friendship and more.

The story tore my heart in two and then mended it in a very interesting twist. It made me cry out of sadness and then out of happiness.
