Book Review – Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour

Book Review, , , , , ,
Amy & Roger's Epic DetourAmy & Roger’s Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

Review: Feel-good, road trip story punctuated by fun little scrapbook items & pictures from the trip scattered throughout the book. I definitely think Ms. Matson did her job well because now I want to go on a road trip. This book was a delight to read and had surprisingly profound depth. I recommend reading the hard copy (either the hardback or paperback) instead of an e-book because I don’t know how well the scrapbook aspect would translate to digital and it really enhanced the whole experience.
