Packed with snappy dialogue, this classic road trip tale will make you very, very happy. One of my favorite reads of 2018, the plot is awesome, the characters are awesomer, the diversity is out of this world, and the dialogue will, simply, blow your mind. You have to read this book. Rating: five/five

Favorite quotes:
- “If any of this ended in an explosion, I hoped it would be one that made us burn brighter, stronger than ever before.”
- “I have to take a big Frosty dump.” “I love it when you talk sexy.”
- “If anyone heard us, I bet they understood, because one of life’s sad truths is that not all of us receive love but every single one of us knows pain.”

Fun little road trip novel, though the bffs were easily pegged as the Gay One and Hot One & no one person's storyline gets its full due.

a lot of laughs, a lot of heartbreak, a tight-knit group of friends. immersion broken, immersion reestablished, but no rating, bc i have mixed feelings.

One of my favorite books of 2018 so far! This book balances heavy, difficult subjects with a fun road trip story filled with antics and friendship.
