Review Detail

Reader reviewed by mlecompt

V has moved all over the country with her mother and has finally settled in with her grandparents in Brockport, NY, where her mother sent her when she decided to move to Costa Rica to follow some guy. V hooks up with guy after guy until she meets Sam, whom she dates for five months. She won't acknowledge that they are de facto boyfriend and girlfriend and eventually drives him away. Her solution to her heartbreak is to drive all the way to Texas to visit the mom she hasn't seen in 18 months.

V's behavior is sometimes annoying, at times I wanted to reach into the book, grab her shoulders, and give her a good shake, but she has reasons for keeping everyone at arms width. This is a sort of fluffy book with some deeper themes and it was a pretty good read. It's a companion books to Vegan, Virgin, Valentine, but you don't need to read that first in order to understand what happens in this book.
