From the USA Today bestselling author of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, Jessica and Emily Burnstein, a mother-daughter team, witness their meticulously planned college trip unravel into a series of off-roading escapades as they find themselves crammed into a bus full of strangers.
Emily Burnstein and Jessica have rather different ideas about how this college tour should proceed.
For Emily, it's a sneak peek into independence, a chance to explore the possibilities of a more interesting and novel future. Let's set that aside for the time being. She's not even sure if she wants to attend college. Perhaps she will be liked better by the other children on the tour than by the ones at school.... Surely, they must?
It's an opportunity for Jessica to connect with the daughter she seems to have lost. Then Goldfish crackers and Play-Doh were no longer enough of an attraction, even though they used to be so close. Even if Emily still likes her, she's not sure. Jessica isn't sure if she likes who she is, to be honest.
Along the way, Jessica and Emily visit with relatives and old friends as they journey the East Coast with a dozen strangers—as well as two well-known foes. Secrets and surprises put their relationship in jeopardy and ultimately transform it irrevocably.
