Publisher's summary

Chloe has one plan for the future, and one plan only: the road. She's made a promise to herself: don't let anyone in, and don't let anyone love her. She's learned the hard way what happens if she breaks her rules. So she's focused on being invisible and waiting until she can set out on the road--her dream of freedom, at least for a little while.

Blake Hunter is a basketball star who has it all--everything about him looks perfect to those on the other side of his protective walls. He can't let anyone see the shattered pieces behind the flawless facade or else all his hopes and dreams will disappear.

One dark night throws Chloe and Blake together, changing everything for Blake. For Chloe, nothing changes: she has the road, and she's focused on it. But when the so-called perfect boy starts to notice the invisible girl, they discover that sometimes with love, no one knows where the road may lead.

I think I just became a life long fan.

I can't tell you how much I enjoy Jay McLean stories. This was my first audio book of hers that I chose to listen to. I was very hesitant to listen one of her books. I wondered if it would somehow take away from the story. It didn't, in fact I think that the readers made even more real! The readers did an amazing job putting emotions in all the right parts to really make this story come alive. My only disappointment is that I didn't listen to one sooner. Thank you again Jay McLean for another amazing story. And thank you to Nick Podehl and Laura Hamilton for making these characters feel even more real. I am already looking for my next Audible book.

Pretty good Story! Horrible narration!

The female narrator makes this hard to listen to, but if you can get past the voices the story is good. This probably a much better read than listen.

Heartfelt, emotional story with the best voice actors I've heard yet!

This is my favorite audible book to date! Amazon voice actors that emote beautifully.
Jay McLean has once again captured our hearts in another emotionally gripping story of young love. This story demonstrates two young people learning how to navigate through their fears, choices, and feelings. Real life, heavy issues weigh on them both and they must decide how their choices effect each other and everyone else in their lives. Major kudos!! I was brought to tears many times through this story, which is not an easy thing to do. I would recommend this book to anyone!

I think the reviews missed!

I reluctantly began this book and fell in love with it! I read somewhere that it could be compared to Fault in Our Stars. Nope, totally disagree! Better writing and emotion! Worth the listen! I will add this to my favorites!!

4 unexpectedly phenomenal stars!

Chloe has known heartbreak from a young age and that has shaped who she is now and her plans for the future or lack thereof. When she meets Blake she does not want to be friends she wants to stay invisible has other plans and decisions must be made, and Chloe will have to decide if she will face her fears or let them control her.

I loved every minute of this story! At times it was a bit emotional and heartbreaking, but that is life. Both characters are very relatable and have real life problems. All in all it was a beautiful story.

Male narrator-4 stars (female voice needed a bit of work)
Female narrator-4 stars
Hero-5 stars
Heroine - 4.5 stars

Loved it!

I went back and forth between the audio version and reading it - But overall, I loved this book. It’s your typical “teen romance” book full of cliches, but I found myself crying at times, and wanting more of these characters.
