ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review

Oh man.

The Flat Share is one of my favourite books of the past few years, so I had high hopes for The Road Trip.

And unfortunately, for me, it did not reach the lofty heights of The Flat Share.

I found myself quite bored with it to be honest. It meandered along slowly, with a few times when I laughed out loud, but for the most part, it was just meh.

I didn't really like Dyan or Addie. I thought with the back and forward to the now and then of the storytelling, I would find myself liking at least one of them better than the other. But no, sorry I didn't.

In fact, it was only the last 20% of the story that got me up to a 3 star - and it was lucky that I didn't give up on it so I could get to that part.

Addie's sister Deb was the only character I really liked. If the road trip ended with them driving off a cliff, she would have been the only one I would have mourned.

I am sorry Ms O'Leary, but that one really didn't do it for me at all. I do look forward to what you bring us next though.
