The short review is: whatever you think this book is about, it's not.

I've been wanting to read this for a long time, the hype around it seemed very promising. It's the story of Jess, who arrives home after a distressing shift at the diner, to find a young boy hiding in her garden. It transpires that he's trying to hide from his father, and when she finally comes face to face with the dad, she can understand why! She escapes with the boy, and they find themselves on a terrifying road trip being pursued by someone or something. 

Really good book, lots of twists and turns that I didn't see coming.
