Andre didn’t want to be there as much as Ariel wanted to be there. Ariel was already upset about not have a laptop with her and her boyfriend, but now, being stuck on a bus for a few days took her overboard.Īll Ariel had to keep her stable and alive for the whole trip was her postcards and this guy named Andre. Ariel’s mom reveals that they were going to take a vacation, but reveals to Ariel and her sister Zena (their parents believe in kids having interesting names) that the three of them and their grandparents will be taking a road trip. She has a boyfriend named Dylan, part of her school’s track team, and her life has changed since her parents divorce. This summer was going to be like no other summer for Ariel. Writer of YA and MG novels including “How to Meet Boys,” “How NOT to Run for President,” and the upcoming “11 Things I Promised.” Summary: I love writing for pretty much the same audiences. And sometimes you just have to go where the road takes you–even if the tour bus won’t.Ībout the Author: I love reading books for children, young adults, new adults and all the old people after that. Sometimes you meet an unexpected fellow traveler. Sometimes your parents let you down (and sometimes they don’t).

As South Dakota rolls by at five miles an hour, Ariel begins to learn that sometimes life is just too complicated to fit on a postcard. She also didn’t know she’d be sending that postcard from the family vacation from hell–a two-week geriatric bus tour with her crazy mom, annoying sister, embarrassing uncle, and frighteningly energetic grandparents. Ariel Flack never thought she’d write a postcard saying Wish you were here, especially to Dylan, the boy she’s had a crush on forever and is finally (sort of) dating. Which is a sentence I never thought I’d write. The next morning we meet at the world headquarters of Leisure-Lee Tours. It’s the weekend, finally! After about a million of test and loads of hours of studying, I get to take a small break, but I have to study for the PSAT which is coming up very soon 😦 But that isn’t stopping me from reading my books!
