How I Got It: Purchased
I
was expecting a light summer read, but this book impressed.
I
really enjoyed Amy as a character. She was interesting and had a nice voice.
Amy was appropriately odd and funny. She also went on a realistic
journey-mainly dealing with her father’s death and grief.
Even
though this book is told in first person Roger is well-developed. His
behaviors, playlists, and drawings allow us glimpses into his personality and
character. It’s a very literal version of “show don’t tell.”
I
really enjoyed the road trip. Amy and Roger met some interesting and often
inspiring people along the way. And the inclusion of scrapbook pages, receipts,
and pictures was perfect. It added a fun dimension to the story. I’ve never traveled across the country, but this book makes me want to.
Amy
and Roger’s Epic Detour is an easy 5 stars and I’m eager to read Morgan
Matson’s other books.
~Thanks for reading!
