Peter Cabot Gets Lost
Peter Cabot Gets Lost | Cat Sebastian
6 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
Summer 1960: After years of scraping by, Caleb Murphy has graduated from college and is finally getting to start a new life. Except he suddenly has no way to get from Boston to Los Angeles. Then, to add to his misery, there's perfect, privileged Peter Cabot offering to drive him. Caleb can't refuse, even though the idea of spending a week in the car with a man whose luggage probably costs more than everything Caleb owns makes him want to scream.Peter Cabot would do pretty much anything to skip out on his father's presidential campaign, including driving across the country with a classmate who can't stand him. After all, he's had plenty of practice with people not liking him much-his own family, for example. The farther Peter gets from his family's expectations, the more he starts to think about what he really wants, and the more certain he becomes that what he wants is more time with prickly, grumpy Caleb Murphy. As they put more miles between themselves and their pasts, they both start to imagine a future where they can have things they never thought possible.

I don't usually read historicals that are this late in time, because I tend to keep sliding into modern day. That happened here too, especially since I have been to all these places and on all these roads. And I always start road trips with On The Road Again, which is a better song than the forgettable film it was written for.

I don't actually believe anything is a #GuiltyPleasure but I still wanted to join #TitlesandTunes I hope you don't mind!

willaful My husband and daughter take a road trip every year -- they're on it now, in fact -- and they always start out with this. 😁 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWKf-xZhbtQ&ab_channel=2much4mymirror 1y
Faranae @willaful Oh, that one is pretty funny! Willie's has the advantage of being *very* sing-along-able, I have to say. I hope your family is having a great time on the road!

My last trip was Florida to Quebec, 5 days in a U-Haul truck with an unhappy cat and a cranky senior citizen and the radio didn't work (no Willie! No wonder the trip was so terrible!).

willaful Oh dear, that does sound dire.

My last was during lockdown, when we were all so stir-crazy we rented an RV so we could travel with some safety. Not exactly the usual road trip.

Saturday night's read. I had yesterday off, but didn't get any reading done. I watched all of season 2 of Bridgerton instead.

As I sat home at that same time, I wondered what effect the pandemic would have on our books, movies, and other forms of creative expression. As we grapple with a world that is opening up but is still deeply at risk, I‘m still wondering. I look forward to the time this is all a difficult memory.

There was something deeply pathetic about lingering in town for days after graduation, but Peter Cabot had long since made his peace with being deeply pathetic.#firstlinefridays @ShyBookOwl

A low stakes, entirely delightful road trip. Boy I wanted to read this while eating some fries at a diner.
