5.16.2025 - Run for the Hills

Run for the Hills by Kevin    Wilson 

Many thanks to NetGalley, Harper Collins | Ecco for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Kevin Wilson.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!

Mad Hill and her mom have been working their farm in Tennessee for 20 years, since the day her day left them without a word.  But she's okay.  Then Rube shows up to the farm in a PT cruiser and tells Mad that she is his half-sister.  He also was left behind by their father.  But he hired a detective to track down his dad and discovered there are more half-siblings.  He convinces Mad to go on a road trip to meet them and find their dad.

As you would expect from Kevin Wilson, this book is full of fun, quirky characters with heart.  The storyline is intriguing - their dad seemingly became a new man each time he left his family.  Would the siblings ever find out why he left each of them?  Would their lives have been different if he would have stayed or at least stayed in touch?  What will happen when they find him?  Lots of interesting themes but it's also just a fun, zany road trip - and who doesn't need one of those this summer?
