Two Missouri girls take a road trip to New Mexico, Veronica for an abortion, and Bailey for a purpose that reveals itself once you're a thousand miles in. Despite being the book's catalyst, the abortion isn't that big a deal. I mean, it's a really big deal that a teen has to undertake an epic journey to save the life she wants for herself, but she's not conflicted about it. A+ for an abortion story. The best friend (gay best friend because there's always one in straight YA these days) is actually a former best friend. Veronica and Bailey's paths diverged when they entered high school, and Veronica started dating a popular boy and Bailey remained closeted with a demon to keep her company in there.

The newfound friendship, even with its bumps in the road, isn't totally believable, but it's still sweet that in the end, the girls save each other.
