Told in alternating voices, Jesse, Vicks, and Mel, hoping to leave all their worries and woes behind, escape their small town by taking a road trip to Miami.

How to Be Bad

When you're tired of being good, sometimes you gotta be a little bad ... Jesse, Vicks and Mel couldn't be more different. Jesse, a righteous Southern gal who's as thoughtful as she is uptight, is keeping a secret that she knows will change her life forever. Vicks is a wild child: seemingly cool, calm and collected on the outside, but inside she's furious at herself for being so anxious about her neglectful boyfriend. And Mel is the new girl in town. She's already been dismissed as just another rich kid, but all she wants is to get over some of her fears and find some true friends. But for all their differences, the girls discover they've got one thing in common - they're desperate to escape. Desperate to get the heck out of Niceville and discover their true 'badass' selves! Even if it's just for the weekend ... One 'borrowed' car later, it's time to hit the road and head for Miami. Hearts will be broken, friendships will be tested, and a ridiculously hot stranger could change the course of everything.

One word: whoa!

I adored this book with every fiber of my being. I cried, I laughed, and I didn't want to put this down (I read it between lunch breaks at work and rides home when it was my dad's week to drive). This touched my heart in a way that a lot of books don't. Cancer sucks, it makes things hard. It changes people in ways that make it really difficult. My grandmother passed away two years ago because of cancer and I understood a lot of Jesse's feelings. It's terrifying and heartbreaking and you'll never understand why. I loved Vicks with her firey personality and the way she seemed so strong- and yet was secretly insecure when it came to her boyfriend, Brady (fun fact, I had a crush on a guy named Brady for years, so kudos for the name). She reminded me quite a bit of someone I know. And Mel, sweet Mel wit her embarrassment over her money and her house and her own insecurities. I felt in tune with each of the girls and loved them.

I almost wish I could experience it- for the first time- again.
