#BookReview: Nowhere to Go but Everywhere by Jessica Rao

Synopsis: Helena Vinci might like grunge and Camel Lights, but she's not a fan of frat boys or anything else about Albany college life. When she drops out and takes a job waiting tables near the Capitol, her plan is to save up to see "the real world" out west. But soon she finds herself trapped in a new way, torn between two men - a sexy DJ and a fellow slacker with wanderlust - and a third, a politician who promises financial security, but at a price. When and how will Helena learn that you don't have to go on the road to find yourself?

Nowhere to Go but Everywhere is a piercing coming-of-age novel about the perils and pleasures of learning to chart your own path.

My Review:
Nowhere to Go but Everywhere by Jessica Rao felt like it came full circle, but unfortunately, not in a way that worked for me. I wanted to see Helena grow into the person she was searching to become, but the ending felt like it undid that journey rather than fulfilled it. Instead of finding her own path, it felt like she ended up right back where she started, with her mom. I just wanted more growth and a more satisfying payoff for her journey.
