A Thousand Miles to Graceland by Kristen Mei Chase
4.0
This was an emotional debut that gave me all the feels and had a perfect balance of humor and heart.
A mother-daughter roadtrip story that sees recently separated lawyer Grace taking her mother on the trip of a lifetime for her 70th birthday to visit all sorts of historic Elvis landmarks (in a pink convertible of all things!)
Together these two repair their relationship, deal with past family trauma (alcoholic, abusive father) while sharing some long-held secrets.
Be prepared to cry with this one but also enjoy all the kookiness of Grace’s Elvis-obsesssed mother.
I loved the anxiety rep in this book (Grace) and the way the story deals with familial trauma and terminal illness. There’s even some romance in the form of a childhood friend.
Great on audio and highly recommended for fans of Jesse Q Sutanto, Roselle Lim or Rachel Gibson’s How Lulu lost her mind (another mother-daughter road trip story).
Much thanks to @readforeverpub for a beautiful finished copy!! This is one debut you don’t want to miss and I’m excited to read more from Kristen!
