Roadside Assistance Book Review

I reserved every book by Amy Clipston at the library because I really enjoyed her book and I wanted to read all the series that I had the chances.  This was the last book in my pile to get to enjoy her great writing.  Roadside Assistance by Amy Clipston turned out to be a youth fiction book.  It was a great book for adults or kids.

A very bumpy ride. Emily Curtis is used to dealing with her problems while under the hood of an old Chevy, but when her mom dies, Emily’s world seems shaken beyond repair. Driven from home by hospital bills they can’t pay, Emily and her dad move in with his wealthy sister, who intends to make her niece more feminine—in other words, just like Whitney, Emily’s perfect cousin. But when Emily hears the engine of a 1970 Dodge Challenger, and sees the cute gearhead, Zander, next door, things seem to be looking up. But even working alongside Zander can’t completely fix the hole in Emily’s life. Ever since her mom died, Emily hasn’t been able to pray, and no one—not even Zander—seems to understand. But sometimes the help you need can come from the person you least expect.

I thought it was a great story with the two main characters connecting over a car repair.  I thought it was amazing to watch the change in Emily while she was working with her dad or Zander on making a car repair.  It was so different then the unsure girl who was trying to make it through losing her mom, living in her cousin's shadow at school and trying to start her new life.  Emily kept thinking that everyone was against her and she was against taking charity.  It turned out that she wasn't giving everyone a fair chance and she was pushing away everyone that was trying to help.  You have to pick up this book and find out what happens but I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I have.  I hope that you check it out for yourself!!
