I enjoyed this book but didn't find it to be exceptional or original. It couldn't seem to decide if it was a book about healing or a road trip book about rebellion. It tended to embrace the "girl gone wild" moment more than I would have liked which took away from the plot of her learning to deal with her sister's death. While it did keep me interested I think there are better books dealing with loss or rebellion.
Appropriateness: There's tons of adult material in the book. Harper runs away gets wasted, smokes like a chimney, puts herself in very unsafe situations and has casual sex (with a mention of a condom yay). It's mostly seen as rebellious and destructive but it's enough that I could see it making young and conservative readers uncomfortable. I would recommend this book for readers 14+ and recommend that parents use it as a starting conversation on rebellion, drinking, casual sex ect. . .
