Run for the Hills

Kevin Wilson

★★★★☆ Read August 30, 2025

A quirky, heartwarming road trip full of laughs and feels.

Kevin Wilson has a gift for mixing sharp humor with genuine heart. The premise is absurd, (siblings tracking down the trail of a dad who kept reinventing himself) but it becomes a surprisingly tender story about family, identity, and connection.

I laughed out loud at the zany situations and rooted for these characters as they figured out what it means to belong. It’s a true feel-good novel without being overly saccharine.

Recommended for fans of Fredrik Backman (A Man Called Ove, Beartown). If you like funny, big-hearted stories that leave you smiling, you’ll probably love this too!
