Mim is a witty, insightful, dramatic (in the best way) 16-year-old who is determined to uncover the truths her family seems to be hiding from her. She does so by embarking on a cross-country  trip with nothing but a coffee can of money & a mind full of determination to piece it all together. The cast of characters is colorful & their backstories are full of emotion & life. I had no intention of loving this book as much as I did, but it proved to be a beautiful read that I’ll continue to come back to.

This book was super fun to read. The writing is really funny and the rhetoric is super interesting which combined really well together. I also really enjoyed how the inclusion of letters was incorporated into the story structure and gave nice breaks in the action. New information was continuously revealed throughout the entirety of the book and up to the very end which made for an engaging read. Overall really enjoyed this author's writing style and the characters that he created.

Smart-assery, charmingly endearing, quick-witted. This surprised me in the twists and turns but the connections between the characters put it over the top.

katerdate's review against another edition

I’m so sick of men thinking that they can use rape (against women) as a one off plot device. I was compelled by the story but the authors problematic, show-off, pretensions, I’m not like other girls personality was showing.
