Read this as a chosen book for book club. It wasn't what I thought it would be but it was good. It was an easy read, not quite as in-depth as it could have been. Their high school friend died yet they spent way more time focusing on the actual events of the road trip. There was not a lot of reminiscing or grieving happening. It was immature at times (trashing a car?) and unrealistic (happening upon a bus-load of male strippers and hitching a ride?); although, there were also moments that I thought the characters were portrayed as older then they were introduced as (39 is premenopausal?).
This is a good book for a "beach read".
