"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. Dylan's car 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 Addie's car 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"-- Provided by publisher.

A Little Disappointing submitted by sdunav on July 9, 2021, 2:47pm Several extremely unlikable characters make this second chance road trip romance a bit annoying. Furthermore, the structure - jumping back and forth between the present and when the main characters met two years before - is often jarring. I just didn't enjoy this as much as O'Leary's two previous books.

Agreed submitted by sara on July 24, 2021, 8:52am Not as good as previous work, but I still enjoyed it.

Whirlwind action submitted by pamhockey25 on July 24, 2022, 5:10pm This is a SECOND CHANCE romance for Addie and Dylan, told in the alternating timelines of THEN and NOW...as they take a road trip from hell. A collision of events force them into close confines (specifically a mini Cooper) Will they make it to their friend's wedding in time? Will Addie and Dylan work through their past mistakes?

Disappointing submitted by smgop on June 10, 2023, 6:04pm I loved The Flat Share and The Switch - this one didn't do it for me.
