The plot of this story sounds truly boring - down and out lady meets rich guy that turns out not to be rich and they embark on the road trip from hell. The main character, Jess, is a hardworking single mum with two kids. She accepts an offer from Ed, a millionaire who she works for, to drive herself and her children across the country to the Math Olympiad. And so begins the road trip....

However, turns out, I couldnt put this book down. It wasnt predictable, it was truly authentic. I couldn't t help but feel for the characters - the single Mum that works heaps of jobs just to keep food on the table, who will do anything for her kids and the rich dodgy dude that doesnt think with his head. These characters are developed extremely well and Jojo does a terrific job of putting the reader into the characters shoes. I laughed, cried and cringed (a lot) throughout this book.

Would I recommend it? Yes, absolutely! A must read in fact. It's a great book for Mums with kids who can identify with the hard work of raising children.

This is the first novel by Jojo Moyes I have read and I will endeavour to seek out more of her work.
