The ending, as always with Hannah, is happily-ever-after. Do not expect grand declarations of justice, mercy, or fortitude.
Hannah nudges MADD with one of her plot twists, and possibly the prison system with another, but Hannah is no Grisham. One teenager dies all others are beyond consolation, especially Jude. The plot turns with a fatal car accident after a drinking party, weeks before high school graduation. Of course, Lexi becomes best friends with Mia and Zach’s first love. Jude, the mother who can’t quite connect to her own mother, welcomes Lexi – the poor foster girl whose drug addict mother died in jail – as friends to her twins, Mia and Zachary.
I kept reading “Night Road,” knowing the perfect family with the overprotective mother and staid doctor father, was literally going to hit a bump in the road. Kristin Hannah makes me cry – no matter that her characters are stereotyped her plots are overworked her messages trite.
