I'm sorry. I truly did not like this novel. The writing is bland, the plot puerile, the emotions shallow. It's about the mid-life crisis of a woman who wants to drive from the West Coast to New York on her own, in order to get some 'me-time', leaving her husband and child for a few weeks. She never gets past the next town, where she books a motel room and starts a relationship with a much younger married man. It's uninteresting, none of the characters resonate with me - yes, I am not a woman in her fourties, but still ... It all seems so fake, so programmatic, so self-absorbed. It puzzles me why anyone would write such a novel. So, good luck with it. You might have a different opinion.
