The Disenchantments
Nina LaCour
Colby has been excited about his post-graduation plan for years. That is when him and his best friend in the whole world, Bev, are going to go tour Europe for a year! Everyone else is going to college, but they have this beautiful plan. But first they are going up the West Coast in Colby's uncle's vintage VW van, to take Bev's all-girl band on an all too brief tour. Who cares if they aren't that good? They are cute girls who love to rock out! But right away things get difficult, when Bev reveals that she isn't going to Europe, and in fact has plans to attend an art school out East. How could she have kept this huge secret from Colby? And what other secrets are floating around this van full of friends...such as the fact that Colby is madly in love with Bev?
Terrific road trip book for older teens, full of heart and passion. Especially recommended for artsy/musical teens and anyone who has big dreams and big questions about life.
