I did a report on this book for school and in the process emailed Ms. Shoup. i was comparing this book to on the road again by Jack Kerouac, and ultimately i ended up basically asking why she wrote this book, because it's not like most of her other works. She told me this was originally her friends idea for a movie, and the characters represent her nephews soon after her sister passed away, makes the book make more sense now kind of!

musicnerdd she even told me what character she wrote as her sister who passed away 8y
