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.
