Three bestselling authors--E. Lockhart, Sarah Mlynowski, and Lauren Myracle--bring you on the road trip of a lifetime in this dynamic novel packed with fun, friendship, and feminism.
Jesse, Vicks, and Mel each has her own reason for wanting to get away from their nowheresville Florida town. Add in a hot (and harmless) hitchhiker, an impending hurricane, and a close encounter of the gator kind, and the result is one sizzling road trip where the journey is far more important than the destination.
Now in a fresh new package, YA fans will love going along with these three powerhouse storytellers on the ride of a lifetime.
From the Back Cover
Three girls who couldn't be more different have one goal in mind: to get the heck out of Dodge.
Well, Niceville, Florida, actually.
Vicks is the wild child whose boyfriend left for college and isn't returning any of her calls.
Mel is the good girl in expensive jeans who just wants everyone to like her.And Jesse, well, she'll do whatever it takes to avoid facing a life-altering secret.
Armed only with Vicks's battered copy of a guidebook called Fantastical Florida, the keys to Jesse's mom's beat-up station wagon, and Mel's credit card, they're Miami bound for the weekend. That is, they would be if they didn't keep getting distracted by attractive hitchhikers and natural disasters.
This may be a trip filled with detours, but the girls are about to learn that when it comes to fun and friendship, the best part of the adventure just might be the journey itself.
Review Quotes
"The authors' styles blend seamlessly, folding three characters' distinct voices into a funny, poignant story about facing your troubles with friends at your side."--ALA Booklist
"Whip-smart dialogue and a fast-moving, picaresque plot that zooms from lump-in-the-throat moments to all-out giddiness will keep readers going, and it's a testimony to how real these girls seem that the final chapters are profoundly satisfying rather than tidy."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
