DC Trip by Sara Benincasa

3.0

I enjoyed this light novel about hijinks on a high school trip to Washington DC, although it's indistinguishable from a YA novel and I don't understand why it's in the adult fiction section (profanity? a couple sex scenes? partly from an adult POV?). It's told from the shifting perspectives of three teenage girls and one of their female teachers. I could picture the movie. The teacher is in love with a math teacher, who is sort of an uptight nerd. Together the two teachers are in charge of 16 high schoolers on this weekend trip. It's also got some 'I did research on this museum and now we'll learn about it in my novel' sections, and I thought the ending was a letdown and contrived.
