The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise by Colleen Oakley
5.0
"You could cram so many different lives into one. Be so many different people. "(160).
A lot more wholesome and rom-com-y than Thelma & Louise with differing but similar dramatics and stakes. Tanner isn't a thrilling protagonist, and I find her transformation quite shallow. Or maybe I'm simply harsh. Her bar of "wow I'd thought I'd do something like this" is so low. But also yeah if she's proud of herself for these little things maybe I should apply that to myself. Louise was the heart of this novel and I loved learning more about her. The twists were fun, the premise was fun, this read was fun. Was only sad there weren't more roadside antics!
