Advantages: Funny, surreal, vicarious living

Disadvantages: Surreal

If you are ever stuck in a rut - a dead end job, a bad ex and you have a niggling wonder about what happened to your childhood idols this is the perfect book for you!!!

Ellie is bored and grumpy with her lot in life so she pickup up some friends and goes road tripping across the States (of course - why didn't I do that) to find the illusive ex 80s star Andrew McCarthy and get the answers to the meaning of life (oh if it could just be that easy!)

This is a giggle outloud novel and lets you live vicariously through the antics. Worryingly I picked out several quirks of her friend that reminded me of mine - I'm not sure that is a comfort.

Of course as you might guess the book has a good result and our heroine gets what she wants/needs although not where she was looking.

This book is in a strange way inspirational and maks you want to get up and do something exciting. I found it cheered me up when I was bored!

Summary: Have a giggles and wish it was you!
