Synopsis:
What makes you happy?
That was the question Emery Reed asked me the day we met, and I couldn’t give him a single answer. I could have said my dog, or my books, or yoga — but I just stared.
And then, I got in his car.
It was crazy to take a road trip with a stranger, but after years of standing still, he was my one-way ticket to a new life, and I wasn’t going to miss it.
We shared the same space, the same car, the same hotel room — and still, we were strangers. One day we’d be laughing, the next, we wouldn’t speak. Emery was surrounded by impenetrable walls, but I wanted in.
Discovering his journal changed everything.
I read his thoughts, words not meant for anyone’s eyes, and the more I learned about him, the harder I fell. It turned out nothing made Emery Reed happy, and I wanted to change that.
I earned his trust by violating his privacy, and as wrong as it was, it worked — until one entry revealed a darkness I never knew existed, a timer I never knew was ticking.
Suddenly, what made me happy was saving Emery from himself. I just didn’t know if I could.

This book is my new favorite from Kandi Steiner. There was very little that I disliked about it. I thought that the characters were interesting and unique from what I have seen in this genre before. Each of the characters had an issue albeit the male character, Emery was the main focus in the book. He is struggling with demons that only he can fight as he meets Cooper and they set off on their road trip. It doesn't take Cooper long to realize this and she seems to struggle with how to help him throughout the book. I really enjoyed learning about each if them as the story progressed. There were moments where I was frustrated with them, Emery more than Cooper, but I understood where he was coming from. It was interesting to be presented with Cooper and Emery's challenges and to watch how they coped. Cooper was the more positive character and she tried to see the good in life whereas Emery got weighed down by his.
I enjoyed the story even though it was another love story set amid a road trip. I think that the characters and the purpose of the road trip are what made thus story different from others. We don't find out Emery's reason until later and I will say that it may not be what you think it is.
I think that my only issue with the book was the pace of the main characters relationship. It seemed to move fast especially where intimacy is concerned. I wouldn't classify their relationship as insta-love but I would have liked to have seen them slow certain parts of their relationship down.
