I got an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks, NetGalley.
This book begins at the funeral of a loved grandfather who was a homebody. Estranged cousins K.J. and Becka, through their grandfather's will, are forced to spend the summer together at the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Park, whitewater rafting in South Carolina, diving in Key West, and participating in a local rodeo. The two grow closer, almost like friends. But when their grandfather's latest leather reveals a bomb of a secret their mothers (who are sisters) have been keeping from them, will they continue with the journey to get their inheritance.
First off, the only main thing I didn't like was K.J. smoking. I don't like books where are the main characters smoke. That's just my personal opinion.
I did like to see the journey these cousins took. It was enjoyable to follow with the alternating chapters between the two girls. They were realistic, and nothing really felt forced.
K.J. might come off as white trailer trash, but she is still a likable character. Her cousin, however, is more image-conscious than she is.
This is a story about two cousins who have been virtual strangers throughout their life coming together to complete their grandfather's bucket list wishes. A good read
