After the first in the series, The Roads We Follow was one of my most anticipated reads of 2024. Thankfully it wasn’t a disappointment. Quite the contrary.

The basic premise is that Raegan Farrow, the daughter of A list country star Luella Farrow must accompany her mom and two sisters on a two week road trip to where Luella will headline a music festival. Micah Davenport, the son of Luella’s former bandmate volunteers to drive their revamped tour, but he’s got a second, secret mission.

This book has all the feels. Every single one of them. I wrinkled my nose at one of the sisters overbearing personality, but then inhaled the authenticity of that sisterly dynamic. The story features entries from sections from dual timeline gives us a look at Luella’s early days on the road with Micah’s mom and underpins the contemporary dynamics of the story.

Every character grew from the moment they got on the bus and then stepped off at the end. Speaking of the end, Luella wrapped it all up beautifully, but I’m not telling!

I received a copy of The Roads We Follow from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions are all my own.
