Chris Colfer
The summer before college, a group of friends decide to do a road trip hitting a few choice destinations.
The link connecting all these kids is a T.V show; every night the friends meet online to discuss what happened on the weekly episode and fangirl/boy all night. and day. and week.
The night before they leave, Topher emails one of the cast - Cash Carter - in a final letter of 'thanks' for everything his character and the show has done for him. As a P.S, he mentions the road trip and offers Cash an invitation to join.
A few minutes later, Topher gets an email back with two simple words: What time?
The next morning, Topher, Sam, Joey and Mo are getting the car packed and ready when who should pull up in a car? Cash Carter.
He said he'd join, so here he is.
However, the trip does not go exactly as planned.
A heartbreaking tale of friendship, identity, secrets, truth, the importance of truth, and filled with inspiration on how to always be young at heart and be true to yourself.
Warning my fellow readers, this is one book you will not want to put down. You will also be laughing out loud so reading in public may lead to some awkward looks from strangers.
Not that one should be ashamed for enjoying one's book in public *winks and clicks tongue*
Colfer's writing is stunningly honest. His characters are some that will stick with you long after you're done with the story. Written from different perspectives, every backstory is intriguing and beautiful. Everyone has different walks of life and Colfer sheds some light on what some people go through. I loved every second of it (even if the end was predictable) and now I haven't read fanfic in years, but this is definitely stranger than some of the stories I've read.
I wish there was a way to see these characters 5 years from now and find out what happens to them all.
Hands down, a few favourite. If you haven't already put it on your TBR, do it.
and move it to the top of the pile.
