Kathleen is eighty years old. After a run-in with an intruder, her daughter wants her to move into a residential home. She’s not having any of it. What she craves – needs – is adventure.

Liza is drowning under the daily stress of family life. The last thing she needs is her mother jetting off on a wild holiday, making Liza dream of a solo break of her own.

Martha is having a quarter-life crisis. Unemployed, unloved and uninspired, she just can’t get her life together. But she knows something has to change.

When Martha sees Kathleen’s advert for a driver and companion to take an epic road trip across America, she decides this job might be the answer to her prayers. Travelling with a stranger? No problem. She's not the world's best driver, but it couldn’t be worse than living with her parents again. And anyway, how much trouble can one eighty-year-old woman be?

As these women embark on the journey of a lifetime, they all discover it’s never too late for adventure…

Good summer read

Good summer read
If you’re looking for a good beach read, this is it. Initially, I wasn’t crazy about the characters, but learned to love their flaws. Super quick read to escape and dream about taking your own Route 66 road trip (as a travel blogger, I would have liked a little more descriptions of the stops). But I guess that’s just a backdrop to the real story of how all three women needed an escape to face what was missing in their lives.One-word book review: Seeking

5.0 out of 5 stars Rich and enjoyable!

Sometimes you read a book that you just identify with. Characters you come to love, phrases you just have to highlight to remember. Such a wonderful book! This was my first Sarah Morgan book but I will be adding more to my TBR list!

Kathleen: “I’m eighty. You could say I’m like a classic car. I need maintenance. My engine stutters and I have scratches on my paintwork, but still I endure.”

Kathleen: “Confidence and bravery can be lost if they’re not used.”

Liza: “She couldn’t remember her mother ever telling her that she loved her.” Some parents just can’t say the words even though you know they do.

Liza: “I think it’s simpler to do things myself because then they get done”...oh boy, that’s me for sure!

And...I’m Martha - I hate driving. I’m usually white-knuckled with a death grip on the wheel. “Her gaze was fixed intently on the road in front as if it were an enemy to be defeated.”

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Read

I read this because I am doing Route 66 this year.
It was a fun read but it was also inspirational. The 80-year-old woman that’s not about to sit still and wait for her death, but is willing to take on more adventure. She crosses the pond to do route 66 with a woman she barely even knows. The authors writing is delightful, and she writes great conversation and the two main characters have such a wonderful repartee and I found it very humorous and a great escape.

The story alternates from the prospective of three women. The relationships as described are quite insightful. I have sticky notes in my personal copy with passages marked for specific occasions when I need to be reminded ..........

3.0 out of 5 stars Wasn't what I expected
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2021

I expected a more fun story–adventures of women. This was a mother-daughter drama/marriage drama. The book didn't meet expectation of the synopsis. I guess I was looking for more fun adventure...a summer fun fling. Also, I found all the characters inconsistent...their inner thoughts were disjointed by their actions/reality...who they were. They were must wiser in their perspectives than their actions, making me question their character development. Overall, the story fell flat for me (and my book club.)

This was a great read. The characters were fleshed out and you really wanted to find out what would happen at the end of the trip. Also, what would happen to Liza's marriage. very good!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Satisfying Read
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2021

This book was just what I needed. I like the multi-generational theme - 83 year old, mother, a daughter in her early 40’s, and a 24 year old girl who forms a bond with both of them, particularly the grandmother. Nice to have a main character who is a senior citizen, and also gutsy and complex. Well written, kept my interest the whole time. The romance between Martha and Josh felt more convenient than compelling. A minor quibble. Still a very solid summer read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bit of sizzle and a lot of heart

Sarah Morgan’s romance novels are always comforting reads with a bit of sizzle and a lot of heart. My readings often involve pages cornered to re read because they contain wisdom nuggets to apply in life. I cried a bit near the end of this one because of the touching wisdom. Sarah has a way of weaving grief with reality and joy in a down to earth yet comforting way. This book was lovely.

Family relations are difficult. And sometimes it takes some distance to sift out the sore spots and the actual solutions.
This book might even help people to understand the motions that are going on in their own family relations.
I like this book a lot.

2.0 out of 5 stars Started interesting, but went boring after first ten chapters.
Reviewed in India on June 8, 2021

Characters are very interesting and even inspiring to read about the difficulties they go thro in their lives and how they overcome their battles. I enjoyed reading about every single person in the novel. But the core plot of the novel is very uninteresting to me and even reading started to get boring for me after once I realized that the people in the novel are making good changes in their lives. After chapter 10 started skipping lines, then paragraphs, and then pages after pages.
