The Atlas of Untold Stories by Sara Brunsvold

 

 

Kroosreadsandreviews:  Go on a bookish girl's road trip with a mom and her two daughters as they navigate through their relationships!  This sounds like such a fun idea to do with girlfriends who love books.  

My favorite characters were Chloe and Grant.  Chloe possessed this unimaginable joyous spirit despite those around her.  Grant also loved the women in his life and didn't try to change them but let them make their own discoveries.  

Sori and Seymour were also pretty great.  Sori cheered on Chloe and kept her accountable.  Seymour was just a grumpy older fella with a big heart.  

Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.

Book blurb:  Chloe Vance, dreamer of the family, needs to tell her pragmatic mom, Edie, that she has accepted a low-paying art instructor role at a Christian school in Prague. Her older sister, Lauren--the "responsible one"--is doing all she can to hide the fact she's been fired for a foolish mistake and is desperately seeking her next career move. Meanwhile, Edie, estranged from her own sister following their mother's recent death, is frankly in no mood for anything else to change.

The one thing they can all agree on? Life in books sure is easier to navigate than life in the real world. As the three women embark on a nine-day road trip to visit significant literary sites throughout America's heartland, they hope to find inspiration through the works and lives of literary greats. As they experience firsthand the adventure and wonder of the classics, they'll discover the value of being honest with themselves--and their family--about their losses and failures. Only then can they come to terms with their own needs and desires and find support from the most important women in their lives--each other.
