So. After making my way through two non-fiction books highlighting, however entertainingly, two very alarming subjects (the unsustainable way we eat and the flawed system into which we deliver our children) I needed a fluff piece. Some mind candy. And I needed it fast. I found this particular gem on the Sony Books website one evening last week and a few minutes later it was ready and waiting on my Reader.
The story follows Maeve, a free-spirited twenty-something through a coming-of-age journey across the country with her rusted out classic car and a talking bird. The characters she encounters help her come to terms with the past she’s running from, and the future she’s racing toward.
Perhaps the writing is a bit stilted, but you kind of get used to it (how many of us read Twilight??) and, well, the plot is pretty predictable with the exception of one twist that actually did surprise me. However, if you’re looking for sweet, feel-good, brain candy this could very well be your book.
Note to boys: in the off chance you were tempted, this might not be your bag... just sayin'.
