Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour, by Morgan MatsonRead about another entry on the list.
Amy and Roger aren’t exactly in happy places in life as they drive across the country from California to Connecticut—she’s mourning her recently deceased father, and he’s nursing a breakup—but they still manage to be a blast to backseat drive with. Matson supplements her already lovely writing with perfect pictures and playlists to bring the reader along for the ride, and the result is, well, epic.
