Is Road Trip Worth Reading?

by Mary Kay Andrews

Ada’s Score

How does Ada score books? →

Andrews sends two sisters to Ireland to appraise an inherited painting and, inevitably, to appraise each other and the family that shaped them. It's a confident, breezy commercial novel — the banter lands, the Irish setting is postcard-pleasant, and Andrews knows exactly how to engineer reconciliation. The trouble is predictability: the inheritance-quest skeleton telegraphs every revelation, and the sisters' emotional arc resolves on schedule with little friction. Comfort fiction that delivers the comfort and not much surprise.
