Synopsis
If someone had told me a year ago that I was about to fall in love, go on an epic road trip, ride a Triceratops, sing on a bar, and lose my virginity, I would have assumed they were on drugs.
Well, that is, until I met Beckham.
Beck was mostly to blame for my recklessness. Gorgeous, clever, undeniably charming Beck barreled into my life as if it were his mission to make sure I never took living for granted. He showed me that there were no boundaries, rules were for the spineless, and a kiss was supposed to happen when I least expected.
Beck was the plot twist that took me by surprise. Two months before I met him, death was knocking at my door. I’d all but given up my last scrap of hope when suddenly, I was given a second chance at life. This time around, I wasn’t going to let it slip through my fingers.
We set out on a road trip with nothing to lose and no guarantees of tomorrow.
Our road trip was about young, reckless love. The kind of love that burns bright.
The kind of love that no road-map could bring me back from.
**Recommended for ages 17+ due to language and sexual situations.**

Review
This was my first RS Grey book and I absolutely loved it. It was just what I needed to read. It had a bit of angst, a lot of humor and a great love story. I love laughing while reading and Abby is hysterical. I really loved her. Beck isn’t too bad himself.
This also had a great set up. Strangers on a road trip. You see Abby has had a rough life medically. And now she is healthy. And she wants to go on a road trip. While looking to by a urn, yes an urn, Beck puts himself in her life and invites himself on the road trip.
It’s not an epic road trip. The road trip to end all road trips. It’s a road trip for Abby about leaving her demons behind and starting fresh. Moving forward in her life that was standing still and that wasn’t supposed to have a future.
I hate this part of reviews because I don’t want to tell you anymore. I don’t want to tell you what happens. I want you to experience it yourself. I want you to love this story like I do and discover the ups and downs that go along with it.
I just want you to read it. Especially when you’re looking for that book that is funny, slightly angsty, sexy but not to the extreme. This isn’t your typical love story. Not your typical obstacles to overcome. It’s a bit different and that to me is what makes it great.

Excerpt
I was sitting in the passenger seat in Beck’s old, yellow VW Camper. It had been renovated recently, so the inside was all new leather, but it still had a lot of the classic details.
Our stuff fit easily in the back and he wasn’t kidding about there being space to sleep. We’d have to be really close, but there was definitely room. My face reddened at the thought.
I wedged the urn between my feet so that it wouldn’t tip over, and then buckled my seat belt. When I looked up, Beck was watching me with a bemused smile. My hand instinctively slid over my side braid and my face. I didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary.
“What?” I asked.
He shook his head, but his grin never faltered. “Nothing. Just trying to remember this moment.”
I furrowed my brows in wonder and tilted my head. The sun shone through the windshield of the Camper, highlighting the green details in his eyes. Beck wasn’t movie-star good-looking; he was boy-next-door good-looking— the kind of guy that might not know the full extent of his effect on the female population.
“Why?” I asked.
“Because our lives will never be the same.”
A small dimple formed on the corner of his mouth before he turned toward the steering wheel and pulled out of my apartment complex.
That dimple was the first thing I told myself to remember about the road trip.
Just as we turned onto the entrance for the highway, I peered over at Beck. “Just so you know, my faith in humanity is dangling by a few threads. If you murder me, I’ll pretty much lose all hope.”
I couldn’t keep the hint of a smile from my lips.
He nodded. “And if you murder me?”
I shrugged. “That would just be a good plot twist.”
