I was so excited to read this book as it was a summer read.
Three friends on a road trip. Sounds so exciting, isn't it ?
But it was not an exciting road trip at all.
Well story revolves around three friends Limpet, Jared and Steffan. All three of them have depressing backgrounds. Limpet's mother recently died due to drinking problem. Steffan's mother died of cancer. Well Jared's parents have done something dark too.
All three friends can not reveal their secrets to each other. They have some problems too.
I liked all the characters in this book. But somehow this book was not up to my expectations.
There were some things which did not made any concept in the book.
Like, the three of them meeting Simon and Becca? They didn't mean anything at all to the story, and it only made it more confusing. I didn't feel like they even went on a road trip, when nothing exciting happened to them. And the whole purpose of it, with Steffan saying a last goodbye to his moms grave Stone? It could have been so beautiful, but it was just plain flat. Flat. Flat. Flat.
The plot was so plain, sometimes I felt that this is not even a road trip.
Same was with the ending. Limpet reveals her real name in the end. Like what was the point in hiding the name all over the journey and revealing it at the end.
