"Amazing, beautiful, and bittersweet. This book was art. It was also gut wrenching and even gut punching at times. This book is another testament to why I love Kristin Hannah's works. 5 stars. Absolute perfection."
The Lazy Reader
"This was a real heart-wrenching tale and well told from different perspectives. Anyone who’s raised kids will relate to the struggles of parenting, as well as recall the angst of your own teen years. Another great one from @kristenhannah!"

"Night road has an amazing story that begins with a tragedy. It’s a story about learning to cope with loss as well as forgiving the person who chased the loss. There are unexpected twists and turns. This book was the reason I went to an event to meet the author. Highly recommend. "
Anna Wieland
"Such an emotional read! I loved the characters, friendships, the love and forgiveness. People grieve so differently and this book has a good example of that and how it can cause you to completely lose yourself. A heartbreaking tragedy that tore loved ones apart, but they slowly manage to find their way back. "

"Loved this book but it was so hard to read at times (hit a little too close to home). For any moms of teenagers that find themselves worrying constantly, be forewarned. That being said, the story is beautiful and the emotions it creates are all part of the experience of reading a Kristin Hannah book. "

"Ok, so the foreshadowing kept me wanting to stop, like ok, something’s going to happen, but I stuck with it, and then I can’t put it down & cry pretty much the entire 2nd half of the book. 🥺😭 And while no one else will care about this, I loved all the location references: I lived in Seattle and did all my education there: Seattle Central CC; UW, held my doc party at Smith Tower, I’m a social worker-type professional and teach for USC. 😂🥰"
Amy Yillik
"I absolutely loved this story! At first I thought the book was moving quite fast, but I quickly understood it was all part of the plot. There is definitely not much romanticism in this book, it is cold hard truths and Kristin Hannah did an amazing job portraying them. For sure, one of my new favorites! "
