Read for free on Riveted Lit, May 2019. Appears to be a road trip theme, instead of something important like AAPI or Austism...

I DNFd this after they left Yellowstone. It's so fucking bland! And this ~mystery~ behind Amy's issue with driving & cars is played out and obvious. Just fucking tell us, the readers, instead of trying to be cute or sneaky. I might've had some sympathy & connection with her.

But then again, she was a young sheltered Jr and couldn't speak up for herself so maybe not.

And Roger is white boy hot apparently with an ex girlfriend problem. He's oblivious to Amy being uncomfortable. Great....just great.
