Started out pretty decent and fast paced. Kylie is her high
school’s valedictorian. Or she will be if she can turn in her last paper of the semester. She
is partnered with Max, the IT guy of her school, who is absolutely NOT
interested in doing the BS paper. Nobody is doing it except for uptight Kylie. Who
heard of homework the day before they graduated anyway?
And because Kylie is wound up tighter than Spanx,
she and Max are off to a rough start.
The book is a comedy of errors. A harmless trip to Starbucks
to discuss their projects starts off with a theft, followed by an accidental
kidnapping, and ending with illegal border crossing into Mexico. All the while,
their misconceptions of each other fall away.
It was a good story and had a set of strong supporting
characters. Max’s current girlfriend could easily have been cast as the
bitchy popular cheer leader. And she is. But she is more than that. Kylie’s
best friend can be cast as the flamboyant gay guy. And he is. But he, also,
is more than that.
The middle of the story sort of dragged out and but it
caught up again in the end. It was a sweet story about a girl who took herself
too seriously because it was expected of her at home. It was also about a boy
that lived his life how others wanted him to until this adventure made him
question his direction.
