gsantino32's review against another edition
2.0
every single character in this book was insufferable. i hated that the ending felt like the message was “oh dylan just needed a dad all along and now that she has one she is perfectly well behaved and her hair isn’t pink and she’s gonna go to college”

Nice road trip of three Generations m. Everybody deals with their own challenges, although I felt most sorry for Hope.
I liked the ending.
This wasn’t marketed as romance to me and definitely isn’t a romance novel.

I enjoyed this story and the multi-generational storyline and how all three of the family members were main characters.
I loved Jordan's character and I don't think I've ever read a book that is specifically about someone who cross-dresses. To be completely honest, I am not super familiar with that community and the terminology so I am using the verbiage that Jordan used in the book. I would also like to read a review from someone in that community, as I do not feel like I can speak to whether it was accurate representation or not.
This book is messy but I enjoyed it! It didn't feel messy to me in an annoying way and it did keep me very interested.

Hope is stuck in a dead end job and dealing with with a diva, washed up actress mother (Olivia) and a teenage daughter (Dylan) with a hair color that drives her crazy. Dead set on seeing Graceland one more time, Olivia devises a plan and convinces Dylan to drive her across the country. The bait? Olivia knows who Dylan’s father is, a secret her mother has kept for 16 years. Hope goes on a cross country chase to find Olivia and Dylan before they find out the real truth: Hope has been honest with no one, not even herself.
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 3.5/5 stars
My thoughts:
I loved the whimsy of this book and the antics that take place in a cross country race to the truth. This book tackles some tough content, including suicidal ideation, unconscious bias and homophobia, but the book doesn’t feel too heavy due to the comedy of errors of racing across the US.
