So the cute cover would have you believe that this is a sisterly road trip across the US that's full of light hearted banter and japes. Carefree sister Tina has persuaded older sister Lottie to join her on the trip a mere handful of weeks before Lottie is due to get married to Dean. She's throwing a number of dares her way, that she's not allowed to say no to.
All set for laughs then? Not entirely when you learn that they are carrying with them their sister Mia's ashes and the road trip is about scattering them at a location from her favourite western.
Additionally when Tina's handsome ex, Spike, enters the equation things get a little messy. Will the sisters end the trip on speaking terms?
This is a very readable tale and all the characters are really likeable. As it progresses you realise that there's a lot of tragedy and heartbreak behind the current plans and the author does very well to tackle some serious subjects with a light and careful hand that examines the guilt we all feel sometimes when we sense we've not done as much as we could have.
