pickLogan and Rosemary were best friends growing up, but they parted ways. 10 years later they‘re both teachers back in their small hometown school and don‘t like each other much. But then their favorite former teacher Joe, ill with cancer, asks them to take him on a road trip so he can die in peace in Maine. Together on the road, the women have the opportunity to start anew. Lots of humor, some heavy moments too. Definitely too long, but pretty good.
pickRube is traveling cross country to see his father who left him at a young age and who hasn‘t been in contact with him since. On his way he is picking up his siblings, all of which have been abandoned by their father, a man who is totally reinventing himself whenever he leaves. Kevin Wilson has once again written a book full of unique characters and I absolutely loved it.
