Destination Anywhere by Sara Barnard

In this book, Peyton has never fitted in with a friendship group or found a true best friend.

Instead she's always been alone, not out of choice but thanks to severe bullying.

At college, things looked up, she made friend with a girl and the group she knew including getting a boyfriend.

However Peyton desires dropping out of college after an incident and dramatically takes herself off to Canada for a break from life, by using her parents credit card.

While away on her adventure, she realizes her memories she's making are only ones she can share with herself as she's traveling alone, so when she meets some kind people her age in her hostel, including a Scottish boy she fancies, things look up, can Peyton finally find some friends?

With drug, alcohol and loneliness discussed in this book, it shows how much life can differ between teens and that following your heart will make you happy and provide clarity. Of course follow your dreams and not feel pushed into a life being forced on you is the main focus of the book and it's so relatable I love the book for that message.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
