Boop and Eve's Road Trip by Mary Helen Sheriff
5.0
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Eve is drowning. She's stuck in college classes she doesn't want to take because her mom wants her to be pre-med. The friends she had started to make are drifting away, and her best friend is in California and not responding to any of her messages.
Boop is worried about her granddaughter, Eve, but is uncertain about how to deal with the depression that Eve is facing. She had her own dark times, and her own secrets, and did not handle them well in the face of a time that was much less understanding.
Enter the power of a road trip! Though the book faces mental illness and complicated family issues with honesty and integrity, it also brings in all the light and laughter of a good road trip. Boop and Eve are travelling back to Virginia from Florida, with planned stops at the family's beach house and Boop's sister. Along the way, Eve's opportunities open up and she begins to see a way around her mother's expectations, while Boop finds a way through her past. I was invested in these characters. I cared about them and couldn't wait to see what happened. I laughed and cried with them, and I'm sad to leave them now that I've finished the book.
