In this hilarious and moving book about shattered relationships, troubled pasts, and the ability to forgive, best-selling author Ann Garvin shows how a road trip can push anybody over the edge—especially two former best friends.
Expired Holly Dunfee and Samantha Arias haven't talked in a very long time. It's a good thing. Samantha would rather stay out of trouble. Holly, who is brutally honest, longs for it. They both go back to one other's speed dial because of their shared affection for Katie, their 25-year best friend who is now undergoing cancer treatment and needs help running a little errand from her former college roommates.
The plan is straightforward: take him back to Wisconsin, get Katie's diabetic Great Pyrenees in a Utah rescue, go cross-country together, and pilfer her hated ex-husband's VW camper. No favor is too great (one hundred pounds), too difficult (two thousand miles), or too unlawful (ish) if it would make Katie happy. This is true even when a bohemian D-list celebrity decides to join them and takes the road journey in new and interesting ways.
In the end, Samantha and Holly are letting go of the secret that caused their relationship to fall apart and are taking every new step together, including self-discovery, surprising romances, and second chances. They will attempt to mend it on the open road, mostly for Katie's love but also for themselves.
