ONE TEENAGE GIRL. ONE 90-YEAR-OLD WOMAN. ONE FINAL ROAD TRIP BEFORE THE
NEXT CHAPTER OF THEIR LIVES.
At 18 years old, Emma Pelican is pretty sure
she's already experiencing a midlife crisis. She's spent the summer
after her senior year listening to her depressing vinyl record
collection and isolating herself from her friends, so it's not much of a
surprise when no one shows up to the graduation party Emma throws the
night before leaving for college; no one but Daisy Lycroft, a
ninety-year-old stranger with mild Alzheimer's who escaped from her
retirement home in the middle of the night.
When Emma leaves to drive
Daisy home, the two end up on an unexpected all-night road trip,
complete with Canadian whiskey, Billy Joel mixtapes, romantic
interludes, near-death experiences, and lots of impromptu dancing,
causing them to find some much-needed companionship in each other, and
revealing that they have a closer connection than they ever could have
expected.
My review: 5 STARS
I picked this up because I adore Savy’s writing and couldn’t wait to dig into the story. Emma is an amazing character and one I loved from the first line of the book. I was pulled into the story, along with Daisy and couldn’t put it down, I just wanted to read and read, and find out how this road trip ended. It was a delightful read, and tugged at the heartstrings, I loved the glimpses back into Emma’s life, getting to see how she came to the point she’s at now. Overall, an amazing book from this author, who is one to watch! Highly recommended!
