About this listen

Never in a million years would I have pictured myself as an axe-wielding, dragon lady, chopping up multi-colored flannel shirts into my very own plaid mulch. But here I am, chopping away my frustrations.

It all started when my brother, Paul, convinced me to go on one last family road trip across the Mother Road with him and my dad. Just like old times, right? Wrong. What Paul fails to mention is his best man, Porter, will be joining us, who just so happens to be my childhood crush and the man who broke my heart four years ago. What is supposed to be a fun family bonding experience across Route 66 turns into a war of pranks, awkward moments and bathrooms full of dirty flannel shirts and day-old beard clippings. Paul's know-it-all attitude and Porter's devilish charm brings me to the brink of my sanity on my seven-day trek across the United States with three bearded men in a small 1980s RV.

A hilarious, heartfelt journey across Route 66!

i absolutely adored this book!! I listened to the audio as a reread and it made me laugh out loud so many times I lost count!! Marley is adorable and her relationship with her brother Paul made me wish I had a brother of my own to torment and prank! And then there is swoon-worthy Porter who is the man we all want in our bed! Porter and Marley have amazing chemistry but it is their emotional connection that makes this story one worth reading!! Plus Bernie and his eyebrows and his cursing the US Presidents instead of swearing make for some brilliantly hilarious moments!!

Pick this book up - you WILL NOT be disappointed.

**Also, I will say that in terms of the audio I loved JF Harding (especially the way he voiced Bernie) but I did find that Greyson Ash's voicing of Marley didn't ring true to how I felt Marley would have sounded and so that took me out of the story at times. Overall I love this story and so my issues with the audio didn't affect how I feel about the plot overall but I don't know that I could listen to the audio again.
