Oh god, another really sweet, funny, twisty book! Eighty-four year old Louise’s daughter hired 21 year old Tanner to drive Louise to her hair and doctor’s appointments after Louise’s hip injury. Tanner’s had her own injury, and the two of them are miserable over all the ways their bodies are limiting them. But when they end up on the run, circumstances force them to work together. YAY! There’s TRAUMA, there’s walls breaking down, there’s unlikely friendships - a winner for me.
