Don't Make Me Pull Over!: An Informal History of the Family Road Trip by Richard Ratay

4.0

this was so fun & wholesome! Started listening on a roadtrip in France & took my time finishing as I transitioned back home. There were many wonderful nuggets :) I really appreciated the way the book felt personal & anecdotal while sharing the history of family trips and travel in the US. This was very US and white middle class centric, but the demographic makes sense as that was who was able to take road trips/travel at that time. I’d love to read or listen to a book about roadtrips in other countries as well I think it’s so fascinating. I learned a lot that I know I will continue to think about on roadtrips in the future or when flying or passing rest stops or getting gas etc. Very well done & a great listen!!
