When Abbot’s Lyft passenger offers him $200,000 to transport her and a large black box from Los Angeles to Washington, DC, Abbot knows it’s life changing money. The catch – he can’t look inside the box, ask questions, or tell anyone about the box. As Abbot and his passenger cross the United States, they unknowingly become some of the most wanted people in the country. As the general population and online sleuths try to track the two down, misinformation has the country on edge for a potential deadly terror attack.
With plenty of dark humor and a great array of characters, this is a must-read book. It’s fun. It’s unique. It’s such an interesting depiction of the perils of social media. It’s a bit far-fetched and it’s best to go into the story with an open mind. I read this while driving from Texas to Iowa, and it’s the perfect road trip read. It definitely made the 20hour drive that much more enjoyable. So if you have a holiday road trip coming, grab this one to accompany you.
