The journey of a lifetime - what could go wrong? Everything.
The Road Trip is another fun read from Australian author Tricia Stringer. It's a laugh-out-loud tragicomedy.
The Road Trip is armchair travel at its best. I could laugh, groan and follow along with Sharyn and Kathleen's dramas and mishaps without having to leave my seat.
Light and fun, this dual narrative story will have you hooked from the beginning.
Sharyn has her big 60th birthday coming up and she is sure her husband Barry will get it right this time. Sharyn is expecting a luxury overseas holiday. However Barry gets it wrong once again and surprises her with a new caravan and a planned trip through Australia from Adelaide to Broome.
What Sharon doesn't know is Barry's best friend Raymond and his sister Kathleen are also coming.
Sharyn is mortified. How will she tell her friends? Sharyn decides to fake it with lots of carefully positioned fun photos posted in the chat group. They will never know.
I love how Sharyn and Kathleen's friendship slowly developed and how both opened up and could see how changes in their life could be a good thing.
There are a couple of little mysteries running through the plot which are an added bonus to a thoroughly entertaining story.
With wonderful descriptions of the Aussie outback and the eclectic characters they meet along the way The Road Trip is an utterly entertaining read. The perfect way for me to experience a road trip.
