3.5

This book has all the elements for it to be great, but its uneven pacing left me disappointed.  The first half of the book was too slow and didn't feel like it had much substance.  When the secrets are revealed in the second half, it was too many too quickly.

5.0

Oh my gosh I looovvvedddd this book!! I love a good caper, an adventure, some shenanigans, and this book has it all. Who doesn’t want to read about an old lady with a mysterious past, a snarky, aimless college student, and a cross-country road trip? Oakley’s characters are so well crafted, and she imbues her writing with such humor! This book also had a lot of great things to say about strength, morality, purpose, friendship, and womanhood.
