What I will say is that Hannah did a remarkable job with these characters. For this review, however, I can’t say a lot about the plot because I was completely surprised by 99% of what happened and I definitely think the fact that I didn’t know any spoilers enhanced my reading experience. I was pleasantly surprised to find just how much I enjoyed the novel. I was drawn into the lives of Lexi and Jude immediately, and for the last 200 pages of the book I literally did not put the book down once. Prior to reading Night Road, I had only read one Kristin Hannah novel and had always been planning to read more, so I began reading this book without even a clue of what the book was about. The new family Lexi thought she was a part of is torn apart, and Jude and Lexi are both left questioning if life will ever be worth living again. But one summer night one bad decision changes all of their lives. Mia and Zach’s mom, Jude, becomes like a second mother to Lexi, and she has never felt so loved. At Lexi’s new school, she meets twins Mia and Zach – Mia quickly becomes her best friend, and slowly she and Zach become more than friends. Finally, the system discovered that she has an aunt, who welcomes Lexi with open arms into her home as if she were her own daughter. After her drug-addicted mother left her, she bounced from foster home to foster home for years. Lexi Baill has never had a place to call home.
