Three stars, but a solid three stars, a page-turner.
Three "road friends," in Greece in their teens and twenties live out any mother's worst nightmare of the kids abroad. The "Lower Depths" of the backpacking, beach sleeping, slum dwelling, border-line and edge cases. (Truth be told, it reminded me of my wastrel years.) The deal is the three friends are eminently likable, and the girl lead - Bridey - is just a tatterdemalion joy.
It's a mystery to boot.
