review 1: For Destiny Faraday, October the 19th has never been a day she has loved and during the novel we are about to see why as on the day of what turns out to be her seventeenth birthday , her and three friends decide to skip school and go on a road trip -their destination is Langdon . Along the way, we see the four becoming really good friends and starting to share their secrets and also along the way they meet some interesting characters including but not limited too - the president of the USA and in the mens bathroom of all places at a small country gas station. When they get to Langdon, all three of them have shared their secrets and bared their soul- all but Destiny. Her whole life from the age of seven has been a lie , she has been living the fantasy of her parents abandon... moreing her. What happens when the friends arrive at Destiny's home and what will they discover there ? What is the real truth behind Destiny's family and her mysterious Aunt Edie.A novel that all must read and I highly recommend it as it will keep you guessing and intrigued till the very end.
review 2: While very different from her previous novel (The Adoration of Jenna Fox), this novel is equally compelling. I had trouble putting it down and read it in the course of 24 hours.We follow Destiny Faraday through one day in her life. Destiny lives her life not getting attached to anyone else, moving on when she starts to care. She has been in boarding schools since she was a young child.On this day, she has an odd encounter with a stranger at school, and that is followed by her discovery of a car. Destiny and three of her classmates: Seth, a new boy; Mira, a girl who always tries to smooth the waters; and Aidan, a brainy logical boy; take the car in search of a fair day.Their encounters, discoveries, and the stories they share with each other take them to a new understanding of friendship, and the wonders of life.The emotions are definitely here, and I found myself weeping at some points of the book. Definitely a novel to spark discussion among teens. less

The Adoration of Jenna Fox was better but this was an okay story

Not very believable. . . too convenient and coincidental.

Good little novel. Kind of a tear jerker, so beware.
