The story begins in dramatic fashion, with one car piling into another. Unfortunately, the passengers in both cars have history…and they’re on their way to Scotland for the wedding of a mutual friend. Their only option is to travel together in the undamaged car, and we realise how momentous this is as their history is revealed.
Dylan and Addie used to be a couple. They haven’t spoken in over a year, so we expect things to be awkward. This is made more so by the fact that Dylan’s best friend Marcus, who played a part in trying to split them up, is travelling with them.
The road trip does not go to plan. Chaotic experience follows chaotic experience, but the time together offers an opportunity for us to learn about how they got together and the circumstances of their break-up.
By the end of the book so much is resolved. The characters are not particularly likeable, but I get the feeling they’re not meant to be.
