Description

Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Camille Perri comes a story about a mother, a daughter and a road trip that’s about to take a hard left turn...

Darcy Evans is getting married. In a week. To a man who is her childhood dream come true. But a late-night confession from her best friend changes everything and before she even has time to unpack it, she must endure a road trip to the ceremony with her estranged mother, Marja. It was always the two of them against the world…until Marja ghosted Darcy three years ago. No car in the world has enough room for all of their baggage.

The drive from Austin to Chicago is nostalgic, claustrophobic, incredibly messy and exactly what both women need. As they each find themselves at a crossroads in their lives, long-held secrets are revealed—ones that reshape Darcy’s memories of the past and forever alter the future she’d recently been so certain of. She hadn’t known what a reunion with her mother might bring, but sometimes following your heart means taking a path you never planned…and finding a love you never imagined.    

"A compelling story of second chances and being true to yourself." —Harper Bliss, author of Seasons of Love,on The Secret of You and Me

Oh my god, I was not expecting a book full of plot twists! I think my head did explode a little. Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book before publication.

Darcy is successful self-made entrepreneur and travel writer from a small town in Texas. Raised by a single mother, she builted a life she is now proud of and do not resemble at all the poverty she grew up in. She is about to get married to the perfect man, who turns out to be Darcy's best friend, Chloe. Everything seems perfect from the outside, until one week before she gets married, Darcy's mother, Marja, asks her to join her on a road trip. This doesn't sound like a big deal until you realize Marja ghosted Darcy three years ago. Darcy is pressured to accept, and ends up flying to Texas to reunite with her mother and drive up together to Chicago.

When Darcy meets Marja in Texas, she almost doesn't recognize her mother. This woman owns a glamorous refurbished Mustang and kind of looks like Charlize Theron. Nothing like the woman Darcy grew up with. So, what has her mother been doing the past three years?

This is where the plot twists start. Seriously, one after another, and they're so good. I'm always in awe when an author can pull that off. I was glued to the book for 2 days until I finished up. It's well written, funny and shocking. I'm surprised not many people are talking about it!

Bottom line: This is one of the those books you can get into knowing nothing about it and will actually make it more enjoyable. This is the book that will pull you out of your reading slump. You're welcome.
