This is purely a summer read. Summer reads are meant to be fast and easy pieces that you read on the beach. This one was very easy to read. It took me about a day to finish and as much as I thought it was good, I’ve heard it all before.
It was a road trip of a lifetime. As much as a lot of the states and activities the two decided on were completely random, I don’t think it had any chance to be anything more than a chick lit meant for a good time. I liked that about it.
Penny’s kidnapping seemed like a built-up for nothing. Those big cops getting involved were never fully explained and it should have been. There should have been more back story. I would have loved knowing more flashbacks between Josh and Lil’s childhood. Or I would even love to know some more about Penny’s life and more of her point of view of things.
I loved the whole concept of the Don’t Stop Now signs thrown in the trip. The metaphor of both the trip and relationship was very clever and I enjoyed the easiness of it.
Overall it was a fun, fast read. It’s definitely worth your time while you’re enjoying a cool lemonade on the porch during the summer.
