Description
A story of the difficulties we face and the strength we find to overcome them. For those who loved LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, and JUNO.
When her parents' marriage suddenly collapses, Mim Malone is dragged from her home in northern Ohio to the 'wastelands' of Mississippi, where she lives in a medicated bubble with her dad and new stepmom.
But when Mim learns her mother is sick back in Cleveland, she ditches her new life and hops aboard a Greyhound bus to her real home and her real mother, meeting a quirky cast of fellow travellers along the way. And when her thousand-mile journey takes a few turns she could never see coming, Mim must confront her own demons, redefining her notions of love, loyalty, and what it means to be sane.

This book turned out to be very different from what I was expecting, but that in no way detracted from my enjoyment of it. The central character of Mim was a wonderful, conflicted, kind hearted yet angry character, so very human and so teenage. As she journeys across the country, I was a little confused initially which events were real and which were skewed through her perspective, as some of them were so shocking and she was obviously emotionally damaged by events from her past. I think Arnold did a wonderful job in portraying the confusion of divorce and the trying time of being a young adult.
I look forward to reading more of his work.
