I absolutely loved this book it was so funny and joyful, the two best friends set on a journey to travel with their car. They find friends along the way and Denise and Thea’s friendship develops following a series of coincidences, one of which is a meeting that takes place in the ladies’ toilet in the Grosvenor Hotel. They seem unlikely friends with Thea initially taking the upper hand and Denise following her lead, prompted as much as anything by an incident involving an exploding freezer drawer. However, the dynamic subtly changes as their road trip progresses. Suddenly it’s Denise who is taking charge as a result of a new-found confidence and who encourages Thea to open up about her true reasons for making the trip. As Lillian, Denise’s mother, later observes, ‘They were chalk and cheese but somehow the combination worked’.
