I'm a big fan of road trip romances, and "Wrong Turn" was a fun one that featured likeable, relatable main characters and witty banter. I really empathized with the female lead, Chelsea, who deserved much better than the way her supposed best friend, Bianca, treated her. Without a doubt, Chelsea was more serious than Bianca and the others in their social group, but to me, that translated to maturity, not being uptight or boring. She was far more loyal to her friends than they deserved, and I loved seeing her finally gain enough confidence to stand up to them. A lot of that confidence had to do with her burgeoning relationship with the male lead, Drew.
Drew was a pretty likeable guy despite coming across as somewhat immature and shallow at first. Over the course of their road trip to Bianca's wedding, he came to realize that he had misjudged Chelsea - thanks in large part to Bianca's catty comments about her - and set about convincing her to give their relationship a chance. There were a number of obstacles in their path, but they were obviously happier together than apart, and I found it very easy to cheer them on to their HEA.
Overall, "Wrong Turn" was a short, sweet, and fun story, and I recommend it for fans of contemporary romantic comedies. I look forward to the next book in this series!

About "Wrong Turn"
Chelsea Cooper thinks her best friend’s fiancé is the world’s biggest jerk.
She’s never really been one to make waves, but when it comes to that guy, Chelsea’s willing to make an exception. There’s just no way she can let her best friend make the biggest mistake of her life by marrying him. She’ll do anything to stop the wedding, even if it means teaming up with the one person who’s an even bigger jerk—the groom-to-be’s best friend.
Drew Russo thinks his best friend’s fiancée’s best friend is the prickliest woman alive.
Everything about Chelsea aggravates him. She’s too structured, too uptight, and too opinionated—especially when it comes to her thoughts on his best friend. When he’s tasked with keeping her away from their best friends’ secret wedding, Drew knows he’s in for one hell of a challenge. Never mind the days he’ll have to spend trapped in a car with the world’s most annoying woman.
The plan is simple enough—keep Chelsea from interfering with the wedding. But between distractions, delays and detours, they discover they aren’t the enemies they thought they were. And sometimes a wrong turn can lead you in the right direction.
Warning—This sweet, sexy, and laugh out loud funny romance is filled with all the most ridiculous road trip stories you can imagine and will make you realize sometimes being wrong can be a lot more fun than being right.
