Book Summary From Goodreads
In a world where global power has shifted east and revolution is brewing, two women embark on vastly different journeys—each harrowing and urgent and wholly unexpected.
When Meena finds snakebites on her chest, her worst fears are realized: someone is after her and she must flee India. As she plots her exit, she learns of The Trail, an energy-harvesting bridge spanning the Arabian Sea that has become a refuge for itinerant vagabonds and loners on the run. This is her salvation. Slipping out in the cover of night, with a knapsack full of supplies including a pozit GPS system, a scroll reader, and a sealable waterproof pod, she sets off for Ethiopia, the place of her birth.

My Thoughts:
This is going to be incredibly short. It’s been a long time since I had to DNF a book, and this unfortunately is going to be one of them. The Girl in the Road by Monica Byrne seemed like something I would enjoy—the synopsis got my interest and the writing was just alright—but sadly it just wasn’t my thing. I gave it a chance, but there were elements within the story that didn’t work for me. And those elements played into my decision to DNF this book since I wasn’t enjoying it. However I’m sure other people might find this book interesting, so I encourage you to check out other people's reviews.
