And We're Off by Dana Schwartz
2.0
Type of read: Commuter Read.
What made me pick it up: I want to say that it was in one of my suggested reads list? Or it was in the library's promo books list for our current reading challenge.
Overall rating: I really wanted to like 'And We're Off,' like reeeeeaaaalllllyyy wanted to like it. But honestly, it was just jumbled and meh. The idea and underlying storyline are great but I feel like Schwartz tried to throw so much into the book, parent divorce, travel, international adventure, misfortune, broken high school romance, pop culture references...it literally has it all.
I think I might not be the right audience. While 'And We're Off' was a nice change from what I have been reading, I found myself just wanting it to be done. But it's a quick easy read with a cute concept.
