Review Detail

I like the color scheme of the cover, the loneliness it portrays and how well it relates to the story. ANYWHERE BUT HERE is a well written, thought-provoking story about Cole and his desire to escape small town life. He's grieving when we meet him so he doesn't always make the best choices. Through the encouragement of a school Guidance Counselor, Cole uses his interest in cinematography to create a documentary of his town, the people in it and his reasons for wanting to leave.

During the course of filming however, Cole learns some important lessons about life, love and friendship. He also discovers that sometimes, the very thing you're trying to escape is the one thing you need to hold onto.
