The plan was to see everything that she loved about the country, however, things go awry when hitchhikers begin to hijack the trip. With each hitchhiker comes a dark and painful history, and as the journey goes on, Jackson realizes that they may all share one supernatural connection...
I didn't expect to love this book after the first few chapters, but around chapter 5 was when it all clicked for me. It begins very inward and pensive with a lot of the focus being on the protagonist's emotions and memories of his dead wife. It wasn't until chapter 5 where the true theme shows its face, and from then on I was completely hooked.
The novel quickly turns into a supernatural romance of sorts but takes into account the vast history of each and every location mentioned, and that history plays always seemed to play an important role in the story. I thought it was very clever.
I would definitely recommend this book if you are looking for a story that leans into the extremes, the extreme dark, and the extreme light.
