A Cross-Country Christmas by Courtney Walsh
4.25
adventurous funny hopeful inspiring medium-paced

A Christmas road trip with some fun stops along the way for Lauren and Will and a chance to make a new impression on each other made this great story super fun.

Will has had the chance to change his life around and when his best friend Spencer needs his sister to take a ride with Will, Lauren refuses because she can't stand to be around Will and her not so dormant feelings for him. But because she has no choice, she joins him on a road trip home for Christmas.

I really like the Will redemption arc in this book. We get to hear about the mistakes he made as a young man but get to see the ways he has/is trying to change. I love the way these two "hate" each other and the banter they have at the trip goes along. The actual reason for Will's road trip is sweet. Just a feel good novel for the Christmas season!
