Wrong Turn (RoadTripping #2)

Road Tripping is a fun new series based on the premise of two people who may not be compatible being stuck in the car together. With witty banter, sparks flying, and enticing chemistry, its the setup for a terrific romcom.

Chelsea and Drew have friends in common, but make no mistake. Chelsea and Drew are not friends. They dont like each other. Hate may not be a strong enough term for the way they feel about each other, and now theyre stuck together driving from New Jersey to South Carolina. Chelsea intends to stop her BFFs elopement with Drew’s best friend, a guy Chelsea feels is not the right guy for her long-time friend. And Drew is along for the ride to try and stop Chelsea from ruining the wedding.

While Im a huge fan of this author, this book is not my favorite. The characters came off as hot-headed, superficial and selfish. They communicate mostly through affronts, indignation and exclamations, which kept me from connecting with them or liking them very much. And by the end of the story, there was very little to redeem their personalities and convince me that any growth had occurred.

Chase is one of my favorite authors. I love the book worlds she creates, and her characters capture my heart and stay with me long after their story has ended. Reading her books is an all-consuming experience, with my heart and funny bone both getting a workout. Although this particular book wasnt for me, Im eagerly anticipating the next book in this series. And if youre a fan of reality TV type characters, you’ll certainly enjoy Chelsea and Drew’s story.

What could possibly go wrong when your best friend asks you to keep his fiance’s best friend occupied/distracted while they go out of town to elope as they know she will ruin their wedding.

That is exactly what Drew Russo’s mission is. To keep Chelsea Cooper from ruining their best friends marriage to each other. It doesn’t take long from Chelsea to first figure out that their friends are eloping and where their wedding is taking place. Drew convinces her they should travel together. He takes one wrong turn, one missed light after another along the way.

It did not take long for Drew to realize that Bianca wasn’t a ‘true’ friend and his and Chelsea perceptions about each other were based upon lies. They decide on a pact to disregard any prior thoughts they had about each other and start over. It’s not long before the chemistry between each other takes over and they give in to it.

When they get to the wedding venue Chelsea has reality check on just what type of ‘friend’ Bianca is and finally stands up for herself. She overhears a conversation that has her doubting anyone close to Bianca and her fiance, Jimmy, that includes Drew.

I really like the fact that Chelsea stood up for herself and continued too. I’m also glad that Drew supported her even though he lost her for the short term. I honestly didn’t care much for Bianca or Jimmy. Jimmy wasn’t very nice to Chelsea or Drew. I don’t think I’d ever trust Bianca again…ever.

I’m glad by the end of the book that Drew and Chelsea were the strong couple. Those two together are awesome.

Turns out if that cake has frosting… wait, I’m getting ahead of myself.

Chelsea and Drew have the unfortunate blessing of their best friends falling for each other. Which means every Friday night, they get to spend together – mostly throwing jabs. It’s routine. And maybe that’s how it’s always gonna be…but is that good enough? They don’t get the chance to find out. When the best friends decide to elope, it suddenly becomes Drew’s job to make sure Chelsea doesn’t ruin the surprise wedding.

Chelsea was a great heroine. She loves her best friend – they’ve been friends forever. But what she sees in Drew’s best friend is completely beyond her understanding. They are soooooo not right for each other! And it seems that Chelsea is the only one who recognizes it. When Drew lets it slip that the happy couple ran off together, she knows she has to stop it. She just didn’t count on Drew trying to stop her.

Drew can’t let his best friend down and knows that taking on distracting Chelsea for an entire weekend is going to be the death of him. One thing leads to another and suddenly they are off on a road trip together. How Drew is going to stretch it out long enough to miss the wedding he isn’t sure… but then they start driving… and talking… and Drew suddenly realizes that maybe there’s a lot more to this girl than what he was lead to believe. And if there’s more to Chelsea than he thought, maybe she’s not so crazy for wanting to break up this wedding… right?

This enemies-to-lovers is not an easy ride. Both characters are extremely stubborn, have a whole lotta preconceived notions about each other, and don’t like each others’ best friend (as in – the two best friends who are getting married). Most likely there’s a lot of hurt and heartache at the end of this road trip – a road trip that suddenly neither Drew or Chelsea is regretting taking. Does knowing that change what they set out to do? Change them? And how do you recover from a heartache you never saw coming?

Samantha Chase did it again with this couple. This road trip was an eye opener for both Chelsea and Drew. Watching them grow in awareness of each other and their situations as the pages wore on, you are drawn into their lives and on the edge of your seat wondering how it all would end. Absolutely loved this story and I cannot wait until the next book!

Oh yeah…that cake? It makes an appearance for a good time…and frosting… I guess it’s mostly the frosting. Just read it – you’ll see.

I really liked this story, especially Chelsea and Drew. The road trip was too funny especially when Chelsea sort of figured out he was doing all the wrong turns intentionally. It gave them the time together to get to really know each other, which is what they both needed. My favorite part was her reading to him from a book on her kindle which just happened to be the first book in this series Drive me Crazy, great touch to add to this book. I have to say that I personally didnt care for Jimmy or Bianca or their entourage, but I was so proud of Chelsea for finally telling Bianca off and giving her the push she needed to change things including her behavior. The ending was good, a fresh start for everyone. Enjoyed reading about Drew and Chelsea.

Drive me crazy, funny fantastic great, this one Wrong Turn horrible just mean and nasty. I paid for this book what a waste. I skipped most of it. It was just wrong. WOW
