IR VERDICT:
When everything starts falling apart in Harper Rodriquez’s life, she does what most people only dream of doing–she packs up her things and hits the road. Rachael Sawden’s first novel, RUNAWAYS, is a fast-paced trip through the dynamics of friendship, love, and the unexpected and her love of the countries she’s traveled is alive in descriptive prose. This well-written and entertaining romp takes the protagonist to the exotic locations of Asia and Oceania as she endeavors to chase a long lost dream. An enticing page-turner that will leave readers longing for the open road.
