Road trip Romances for Summer
in Culture
Road-trip romances can feel as tedious and claustrophobic as an actual cross-country car ride. Too often, the meandering premise is simply a lazy shortcut to forced proximity and the inevitable moment that forces the hero and heroine to spend the night at a shabby motel where—whoops!—there’s only one bed available. If reading about two people falling in love while having “wacky” adventures on the road and meeting “quirky” characters along the way isn’t your idea of a good time, join the club; if God wanted us to take road trips, he wouldn’t have invented airplanes.
