I picked up this book just based on the blurb on the back and just figured I’d give it a shot. It is loosely based on a Thelma and Louise storyline but the twist is that the main characters are 21 and 84. They are on the run from something you don’t find out about until the very end. Throughout the story they end up teaching each other more than they ever thought possible. Not cheesy. Not hard to get through. I really enjoyed the perspective of Louise the 84yr old ‘on the run from the law’. It’s not a perspective you hear very often in books. Would definitely suggest this as a book to check out asap. I got mine from my local library!
