Love never factored into her agenda, but sometimes fate alters plans.

Marie has her twenties planned out. Her dream to see all fifty states before she turns twenty-five finally comes true. With a two-year trip ahead of her, she says good-bye to her family and her best friend Jayce. Though fearing the trip could change their friendship forever, a pact is formed. They're determined not to let distance impact on their relationship. 

Amidst triumph and heartache, new relationships and friendships, Marie soon discovers her journey is so much more than an adventure. Instead, she finally realizes where she truly belongs.

    5.0 out of 5 stars When I first started reading this book I wondered if I would finish it. Then as I continued I got emersed into the story and didn't want to put the book down.

    The traveling around the country was a great idea for the plot, however, I couldn't help wandering about the mundane like laundry and how they kept their clothes sorted for the different seasons. I really enjoyed the characters, they were so lifelike that I felt I actually knew them myself. I laughed with them, cried with them, got cross that decisions took so long, then was happy with the end result. If you struggle with the beginning, stay with it, it is well worth the time.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Highly disappointed

    Never saw a reason for the name.
    Never saw a reason for traveling the 50 states.
    Never had the feeling that she cared abt the states beyind checking them off a list.
    Main story is whether she'd choose the sex soul ties guy or the soul mate best friend. Side story is Constance outliving doctors' prediction.
    Very short book when you skip over the stupid sex scenes.
    Why go to Tunica rather than Memphis? Even Tunica has better things than casinos.
    Started out like it could be interesting, quickly became shallow.

    4.0 out of 5 stars All in all, it was a fun trip to go on
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2016

    This story is about Marie, who is going on the road trip of a lifetime to cross an item off her bucket list. She starts in Kentucky and drives up north into Canada and back down the east coast, and then heading west. The places Marie went were nice--it was kind of really cool to see North American geography and landmarks through someone else's eyes. What she felt important to show to me. I've never been to Michigan on the lake, or New Orleans, and it's been years and years since I was in New York, so it was kind of cool to live those places, even if it's through someone else (someone fictional at that... I really need to get out more).

    Oh, but wait. There's romance too! In fact, there is a little bit too much for Marie to handle. There's the guy she met along the way who is rather swoon-worthy. Then there's the guy who has always been there. The underlying current throughout the entire book is her mental battle of ping pong over which guy she wants. We don't find out until the end, and I will say I was rather happy with the result. I was Team ***** all the way. (Ha, you think I'm telling you? Nope. You get to go on the mental back-and-forth with Marie to find out.)

    I did find a couple inconsistencies in it, but none of them were big enough to make me shut the Kindle and walk away screaming. (And I'm intensely picky and have been known to put books down for the most mundane reasons, so that's really saying a lot.)

    My biggest gripe was mostly that Marie meets some interesting characters, especially in the beginning. The old man in the dinner, Sami and Kat--and once she's out of their down, we never hear from them again, but Marie swore she'd stay in touch. I would have loved to have seen a FaceTime with Kat and Sami after they got engaged, or something. Just to bring them full circle and keep them in her life.

    All in all, it was a fun trip to go on--and reading this gave me the opportunity to do this trip in a matter of hours instead of spending years on the road, staring at the lines on the road until they blurred and the black dog appeared.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Trip
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017
    Let me start by saying I am not generally a triangle type of girl, a good menage yeah but triangle no. Having said that I did actually enjoy this book. The bouncing between guys not physically but more emotionally was annoying but Marie wasn't doing it in a mean way(if that makes sense).

    This book kept me hooked and turning pages. I enjoyed the witty dialogue and really felt like I could experience the road trip with the girls. I was extremely invested in the characters and story. I also enjoyed the cameo from the Parker-Harris series. Although I haven't read everything from this author I'm finding that when I pick up one of her books I can expect relatable characters, a fun story, and real emotions.

    P.S. I did have fun trying to figure which guy Marie would choose, she definitely kept me guessing. I knew who I wanted but wasn't sure if I'd be happy at the end lol, will you?

    "Across the Way" by Amy McClung

    Any McClung's "Across the Way" is an interesting novel. Marie has had a dream of driving her way through every state on the US. She meets a lot of people on her journey, does a lot of sight seeing, and takes her time in each state. Along the way she also finds the live of her life...it takes her over a year to figure it all out. The reader will be able to determine her answer much more quickly.

    I really enjoyed the characters in this novel. They all add different perspectives of their part in Marie's journey. They are well developed and relatable. They truly make this novel read worthy.

    While I enjoyed the premise of the novel, there were times I found it slow and was not able to hold my attention. What kept me reading were the characters and wanting to know what happened along the way.

    I do recommend this novel. It is a good read for a lazy day or a change of pace.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

    5.0 out of 5 stars Trip Full of Surprises and Love
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2017
    I started reading this book after the author made me curious by saying that there would be something in it that I'd appreciate. I started reading Across the Way around noon and finished it about six pm in the same day. I absolutely loved the characters, they made me laugh, they made me cry, they made me yell out loud at them for being so stupid. I loved the love triangle, and I love the ending.

    Marie goes on a trip to visit every state, something I only hope to do sometime in the future, and along the way she finds love. And that is unexpected; she doesn't plan on finding love on her trip. But it doesn't come easily. The tension between the characters at times is so well written and the way it is resolved is fantastic. I have no words about how much I loved this book, besides that the ending made me so excited, because the plot was resolved.

    I highly recommend Across the Way, along with all of Amy McClung's books!
