        Was this book a good fit for the Read Around the USA Challenge?

          Perhaps not. There are already a lot of choices (too many?)  and this book, in my opinion, was not particularly great. I loved the Louise character, but Tanner was such a whiner.  Too wishy-washy. There are better books already on the list.

            I vote yes. This book moves geographically as well as chronologically in telling Louise and Tanner’s stories. I am glad I read this as it was humorous with a bit of mystery. At several points I had to question assumptions I made only to need correction.

              I enjoyed the book — certainly kept me guessing.

                Definitely a cross country trip. It fits the category.

                  I think it fit the challenge and included common travel hiccups.  Breakdowns, showing up after hours, etc
