À propos de cet audio
Two exes reach a new level of awkward when forced to take a road trip together in this endearing and humorous novel by the author of the international best seller The Flatshare.
What if the end of the road is just the beginning?
Four years ago, Dylan and Addie fell in love under the Provence sun. Wealthy Oxford student Dylan was staying at his friend Cherry’s enormous French villa; wild child Addie was spending her summer as the on-site caretaker. Two years ago, their relationship officially ended. They haven’t spoken since.
Today, Dylan’s and Addie’s lives collide again. It’s the day before Cherry’s wedding, and Addie and Dylan crash cars at the start of the journey there. The car Dylan was driving is wrecked, and the wedding is in rural Scotland - he’ll never get there on time by public transport.
So, along with Dylan’s best friend, Addie’s sister, and a random guy on Facebook who needed a ride, they squeeze into a space-challenged Mini and set off across Britain. Cramped into the same space, Dylan and Addie are forced to confront the choices they made that tore them apart - and ask themselves whether that final decision was the right one after all.

Jamie Westenberg and Bea Wilmot have nothing in common except a meet-disaster and the mutual understanding that they couldn't be more wrong for each other. But when the people closest to them play Cupid and trick them into going on a date, Jamie and Bea realize they have something else in common after all—an undeniable need for revenge. Soon their plan is in place: Fake date obnoxiously and convince the meddlers they’re madly in love. Then, break up spectacularly and dash everyone's hopes, putting an end to the matchmaking madness once and for all.

Naomi Westfield has the perfect fiancé: Nicholas Rose holds doors open for her, remembers her restaurant orders, and comes from the kind of upstanding society family any bride would love to be a part of. They never fight. They're preparing for their lavish wedding that's three months away. And she is miserably and utterly sick of him. Naomi wants out, but there's a catch: whoever ends the engagement will have to foot the nonrefundable wedding bill.

The Wheatons are infamous among the east coast elite for their lack of impulse control, except for their daughter Clara. She’s the consummate socialite: over-achieving, well-mannered, predictable. But every Wheaton has their weakness. When Clara’s childhood crush invites her to move cross-country, the offer is too tempting to resist. Unfortunately, it’s also too good to be true.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"THIS BOOK IS PERFECT.” (Rosie Walsh, best-selling author of Ghosted)
“As with her surprise hit, The Flatshare, O’Leary expertly balances humor and heart while introducing a zany cast of 20-somethings.... Readers won’t want this crazy road trip to end.” (Publishers Weekly)
"The Road Trip is a humorous yet deeply moving journey toward confronting the past, forgiveness, and reconciliation, with a poignant detour to a summer of young love in Provence. I loved the vivid cast and the depth and intimacy in O’Leary’s writing.” (Helen Hoang, USA Today best-selling author)

I enjoyed the story too. This initially comes across as a light-hearted story but there is so much more going on and O'Leary peels back the layers as she alternates the story of Dylan and Adi before the breakup and afterward, which is the present time two years later. O'Leary is so good at creating realistic memorable characters.
The only thing that marred my listening (reading) experience was the amount of profanity. F-bombs and religious profanity rained down through this one, many times unnecessarily. It almost made me want to stop listening but the story itself pulled me back. A great listen, minus the language.
Another winner but too much bad language

Okay there is a lot to break down here. I want to lead with the fact that this is not a completely funny, light-hearted, rom-com, so if that’s what you’re looking for, check out another book. There’s a lot of issues, there’s a lot of portions worthy of a trigger warning (see above), there’s a lot of heartbreak.
Okay now that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the actual review. The main tropes are second-chance redemption and forced proximity sooooo if you love those, the Road Trip is HEAVY on those tropes. What I really, really enjoyed about the Road Trip is that it feels very genuine. The characters seem so real and vulnerable and the issues are real and genuine (it’s A LOT more than just miscommunication!) In general, the Road Trip is incredibly heavy, heavy on characters, heavy on back-story, heavy on tropes, heavy.
Spoilers ahead!
It irritated me how they brushed over some really deep aspects of the story, both stalkers are sort of grazed over like its not a huge deal?? This was my biggest issue with it. MARCUS was my other issue, but I also realize that he plays a really large, important role as does his toxicity.
I listened to this as an audiobook on Audible and I thought the narrators were INCREDIBLE, they did a really amazing job of building the characters. I did have to rewind a couple times because parts were a lot to keep up with and I needed to listen multiple times to understand it.
Overall, this was a really interesting read. Very very heavy, not your typical rom-com, but very enjoyable to listen to!
A plot heavy romance
