About this ebook

In this New York Times bestseller, two high school students leave their hometown on the West Coast to go on an impulsive cross-country road trip in this moving romance about friendship and the power of love.
Axi Moore is a "good girl": She studies hard, stays out of the spotlight, and doesn't tell anyone that she wants to run away from it all. The only person she can tell is her best friend, Robinson-and she's madly in love with him.
When Axi impulsively invites Robinson to come with her on an unplanned cross-country road trip, she breaks the rules for the first time in her life. But the adventure quickly turns from carefree to out-of-control . . .

Ratings and reviews

I could just spen five minutes telling you about how this book brought me to reality, and how love cant be seperated by even death, but instead i want to say this, R.I.P Jane blanchard, R.I.P Oscar Robinson, and R.I.P to all of those who died trying to win against the same disease, cancer. I know you're looking for a reveiw so I'll tell you this, aftr you read this you'll think differently about what love truly is. Thank you for your time.

I love this book more than I love the Maximum Ride series. It was so beautiful and deep and just overall amazing. I cried, I laughed, and I smiled. Oscar Robinson is definitely the picture perfect boyfriend. He's sweet, caring, and funny. He would've been an amazing man. I find it very sweet that James wrote this book in memory of HIS first love. I can't stop reading it. I read it over and over and over. I really wish there was a sequel 😔

I did not have to run for the kleenex, but I almost felt like I would. Almost. It's an easy read, but I found the storyline a bit unbelievable as well as our leading characters. Even the epilogue wasn't believable, but I suppose you don't pick up a work of fiction seeking reality. I liked it, but the lack of believability was the only reason why I rated 4 stars. If you are seeking a prolonged mushy romance, seek elsewhere. This is more of an adventure novel wrapped around a restrained romance.
