Road trip...with two women: one a surly, unruly teen, the other her aunt. Add to that, a suicidal old friend and therein lies the makings of a contemporary, fun chick-lit novel.
Colleen is a wife, mother, and small businesswoman who creatively refinishes and refurbishes antiques. Her husband and son are heading off on a guys-only week-long trip so she decides on a trip down the East coast to replenish her stock.
Her brother-in-law's daughter is suddenly (and not necessarily happily) added to the trip. Already at odds with her aunt, Tamara is not thrilled with this, either, but the die is cast. Together, they will go.
Purely by chance, Colleen runs into an old college friend, Bitty. Despite the obvious lies Bitty tells about this chance meeting, Colleen and Tamara add her to the trip after Bitty's car is stolen.
The three make their way down the coast, and the trip is fraught with good times and bad for all of them as their friendship grows. Will any of them find a bit of happily-ever-after and closure for their individual issues?
A quite enjoyable read with characters that are likeable and realistic. Never have I ever read a book quite like this one...and will be checking out others by this author.
