This was a fun trip as we follow the author Sarah Dunne on her quest to find Mr. Right.
With her children grown and for the most part not at home any longer, an unfulfilled job and ,single approaching middle age, the author decides to travel from New Zealand, to different countries to see if she can find mister right.
Both full of humor and the reality of what is out there, the author gives us an honest picture of what she found in the different countries she went to. I must say she had a very open mind about her encounters with the people she met and had no judgments about their lifestyles, even thinking she might fit in now and again, but is there really a mister right?
I would like to thank NetGalley and Mahoe House for a copy of this book.

"The Road Rises" is a witty and introspective memoir that delves into the complexities of midlife crises and the quest for fulfillment. I like how the author navigates through various encounters with "Misters" across the globe, each representing different facets of love and self-discovery. From a Man of God in Australia to a Passport Hunter in England, these encounters offer a rich tapestry of experiences that challenge conventional notions of romance and fulfillment. Through humor and insight, the memoir reminds readers that the search for "Mr. Right" may lead to unexpected destinations, ultimately pointing towards richer love affairs and deeper self-discovery. It's a relatable and thought-provoking journey for anyone facing the uncertainties of midlife.
