Many thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for gifting me a digital ARC by a new-to-me author, Kate Clayborn - 4 stars!
Jess has spent the last 10 years raising her younger half-sister after their mother took off once again and never returned. Only 18, Jess had to put her life on hold to become mom to Tegan. Now as Tegan prepares to go off to college, she discovers that Jess has had some clues into her mother's disappearance that she kept secret; namely, that the man their mom ran off with was an infamous con man and subject of a true crime podcast. When the podcast host and producer show up at their door with a proposition, Jess is not in, but she will also not let Tegan go on her own. So the four set out on a road trip, following postcards sent by their mom, to discover the truths.
I love a good road trip story and this was a good mystery and romance as well. But it's really a discovery of what happens when someone disappears from your life? Can you easily let them go, especially when it's a parent? It's learning to trust yourself and your feelings, and let those you love do the same. You will absolutely fall in love with Adam as he falls in love with Jess, wanting only to never hurt her. Of course, that's not reality either. I felt for both sisters as their relationship went through changes. A great read!
