I read this with my six year old daughter and when we got to the last page, she asked me to start all over. And we did.
I thought this was a strong piece of creative non-fiction. As an adult I was impressed how easily the artist crafted the emotions of the characters.

Raina, hänen pikkusiskonsa, pikkuveljensä ja äitinsä lähtevät road tripille, joka on pituudeltaan melkein jenkkilän rannikolta toiselle. Tuo aika on omiaan kiristämään perheenjäsenten hermoja. Etenkin kun autosta löytyy käärme, korvalappustereoiden paristot loppuvat ja kärry hyytyy keskelle kuumaa aavikkoa. Iskällä on helppoa, koska hän lentää matkat molempiin suuntiin. Omaelämäkerrallisessa tarinassa Raina pohtii, ovatko vanhemmat eroamassa, koska eivät halunneet matkustaa yhdessä.
Takaumissa sivut ovat keltaisia, mikä ei lisää lukunautintoa. Muutoin oikein näppärä sarjakuva. Samastuin kovasti 14-vuotiaaseen Rainaan, joka nukkui nalle kainalossaan.

This book encapsulates perfectly the relationship between sisters: the awkward I-hate-you-but-not-really, the weird little things that make or break your relationship, and the strange feuding that can happen. Even more than that, this book perfectly explores what parental and family issues look like through the lenses of a younger child. The problems are orbiting the main story, never directly in the spotlight, but assuredly there and present. Overall, just a great book and one that I would be willing to read again, even as an adult.
This book is my favorite of the three "Smile" books by Telgemeier. The way she captures her family's road trip is pure gold.
Cute and funny, with likable characters and wonderful art. The storyline was a little scattered; Smile was definitely more cohesive, plot-wise. There was also a major question raised near the end that wasn't really dealt with at all, which seemed strange to me. The portrayal of the family relationships was spot-on, though. In short, not as good as Smile, but a decent companion nonetheless.
Evelyn read this, then sat next to me making comments on every page while I read it. I love that girl so much!
