I received this book for free from Author, MTMC Tours, Sourcebooks Fire in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Jack is on the verge for leaving for college, but before he does, he wants to track down his estranged brother, Alex and find some closure in the wake of their father's death. Meanwhile, Hallie has just found out some upsetting news about a friend in Oregon, and she has a small window to go see him before it's too late.
Jack and Hallie are practically strangers. They shared a class together years ago and haven't seen each other since, though they have more in common than they'd ever imagine. And when fate puts them into the same rideshare to the bus terminal, it kicks off an unconventional and hilarious adventure that may lead them to their own true selves…and maybe to each other.
What to expect from Where the Road Leads Us ?
“There’s something freeing in talking to people you know you’re probably never going to see again. There’s no expectation or judgement… Everyone accepts each other for who they are, and it’s enough.”
When I picked up Where the Road Leads Us I had no idea how much I was going to love it. It sounded like an interesting read and I was excited for it, but it definitely went way beyond that! I would like for everyone to meet Jack, Hallie and Oscar, three unlikely characters that end up taking an emotional road trip together. And what a road trip, I cannot even begin how crazy and life-changing it was. What started off as a hitch ride quickly turned into an incredible adventure.
During that road trip several unfortunate events happened, but what stood out to me the most was how even though they were so very different, they managed to help each other out and made this journey of self reflection. There was a lot of humor involved as well, I think one of my favorite parts was when someone stole their car, I couldn’t stop laughing! I absolutely loved Hallie and Jack (they are the main characters of this story), but somehow I also viewed Oscar as an MC since he is there for the most part and quite sincerely, I cannot imagine this story without him.
Where the Road Leads Us was such an amazing read for me, it was heartwarming, emotional and amusing, I could hardly put it down. And despite having some tough subjects, it was also a light read that I think many people would enjoy. All in all, I really liked it and I highly recommend it!!

About Robin Reul
The author of MY KIND OF CRAZY and the forthcoming WHERE THE ROAD LEADS US, Robin Reul has been writing since she was in early elementary school, when she used to make her own book club flyers for her classmates and then pen them original stories. Though she grew up on movie sets and worked for many years in the film and television industry both as an actress and in motion picture development, she ultimately decided to focus her attention on writing young adult novels. Inspired by novelists like John Green and Sarah Dessen and screenwriters like John Hughes and Richard Linklater, she loves to write stories that straddle the line between humor and heartbreak, filled with quirky, memorable characters who stay with the reader long after the story ends. When she’s not writing, Robin can be found drinking copious amounts of iced coffee and listening to way too much 80’s music. She lives in Los Angeles suburbia.
