From the award-winning, bestselling author of Hold Still and We Are Okay.
Colby and Bev have a long-standing pact: graduate, hit the road with Bev's band, and then spend the year wandering around Europe. But moments after the tour kicks off, Bev makes a shocking announcement: she's abandoning their plans - and Colby - to start college in the fall.
But the show must go on and The Disenchantments weave through the Pacific Northwest, playing in small towns and dingy venues, while roadie- Colby struggles to deal with Bev's already-growing distance and the most important question of all: what's next?
Morris Award–finalist Nina LaCour draws together the beauty and influences of music and art to brilliantly capture a group of friends on the brink of the rest of their lives.
For the most part, this was a fun book. Colby and Bev's plans for traveling through Europe right after high school graduation are finally happening. But first, they are going on a road trip with Meg and Alexa, who make up Bev's all girl band.
Bev and Colby were very big downers for most of the book. I was annoyed by Bev most of the time for being so moody towards Colby. Colby was always sad and mopey because of Bev. Which I felt bad for Colby, but not bad enough that I could deal with his sadness the whole time. Meg and Alexa were the best part of the book, to me. They were the ones who made the book a little bit brighter.
The ending wasn't very surprising to me, I definitely saw it coming.
This was a fun journey to read about, though I would never have the guts to go on a road trip and go into strangers basements. And even thought I felt like the book moved at a slow pace, it was still an easy, fun read.
