Review: This is the perfect read-a-thon book: short, fun, easy, and entertaining. I am not really sure what else to say about it. It's a YA romance, fairly predictable, but it's got a fun drive up the west cost of the US thrown in, a little personal introspection, and a whole lot of fun. I really enjoyed reading this book and recommend it if you are looking for a feel-good book.
Geography Connection:
Click to see my updated Google Map. Another book based in Los Angeles, but this one also manages to include San Francisco, Palo Alto, Ashland, Portland, and Seattle in the road trip. Here's some other Los Angeles-based novels I've read:
- Diary of a Beverly Hills Matchmaker by Marla Marten
- Murder on the Down Low by Pamela Samuels Young
