*PRE-ORDER BETH O'LEARY'S BRAND NEW UNMISSABLE ROMANCE, THE NAME GAME, NOW*

'Beth O'Leary is that rare, one-in-a-million talent who can make you laugh, swoon, cry and ache all in the same book' Emily Henry

Addie and her sister are on an epic road trip to a friend's wedding in rural Scotland. But, not long after setting off, a car slams into theirs. The driver is none other than Addie's ex, who she hasn't seen since their traumatic break-up two years earlier.

Dylan and his best mate are heading to the wedding too, so Addie has no choice but to offer them a ride. And with four hundred miles to go, they can't avoid confronting the very messy history of their relationship . . .

Will they make it to the wedding? And, more importantly, is this really the end of the road for Addie and Dylan?

Critic Reviews

A charming, heartfelt story of love found and love potentially lost - The Road Trip is steamy and sexy, properly witty, and unabashedly romantic. I couldn't get enough! I loved the glimpses into "then" and "now". Nobody does it like Beth does

Read this! Absolutely loved it!

This book is perfect

The Road Trip is a humorous yet deeply moving journey toward confronting the past, forgiveness, and reconciliation, with a poignant detour to a summer of young love in Provence. I loved the vivid cast and the depth and intimacy in O'Leary's writing

I loved The Road Trip and think it's O'Leary's best yet. Moody and wise, exploring the contrast between the all-consuming recklessness of first love and what happens years on, after the break up, after the end. And all in a closed-set car journey . . . O'Leary has a knack for articulating the things we all think and feel in relationships

O'Leary does it again! The Road Trip is another sure-fire hit, filled with characters you won't forget. You'll be fully invested in Dylan and Addie's relationship from the word go and the moment you turn that final page you'll be wondering how on earth you'll survive the wait until your next O'Leary hit!

Completely fresh and unpredictable, The Road Trip is so compelling, I couldn't put it down!

So romantic and moving and brilliantly told, with characters who are relatable but beautifully flawed. The Road Trip is an absolute knockout and it's going to be a huge hit

I enjoyed The Road Trip immensely. O'Leary is such a wonderful writer, she weaves laughter and tears seamlessly through her novels and I look forward to reading every one. Joyful and uplifting

An achingly tender love story - funny and moving in equal measure. Beth O'Leary's best book yet

The Road Trip is tender, moving and beautifully crafted

From the queen of beach bag reads herself, Beth O'Leary's latest novel is the bookish summer staple you can't miss

Beth is quite rightly earning her title as 'Queen of Uplit' with her funny and mood-lifting third book

The Flatshare author returns with a total triumph of a book! (Claire Frost)

A high-concept romcom that's funny, relatable and tender

O'Leary's witty prose and quick dialogue has never let up for a second

This is as funny as Beth's debut The Flatshare but with a depth of emotion that clings to you after you finish the book

An unforgettable read. So much more than a romance, the author's sure, light touch with this story evokes warmth, wisdom and wit

A warm and lovely tale - this left us with a smile on our face

A warm and lovely read

I so enjoyed your last two books but could not seem to engage with any of these characters. They all seemed self obsessed and out of touch with reality. Still I look forward to the next.
