I remember backpacking through Europe and I think most Americans miss out on this kind of dirty, exhilarating experience, which is sad, and may impede some wonderful personal growth, but also full understanding of what these girls go through. We have the privilege of getting to know them as well and how this trip aids, or exacerbates all of their tensions they brought with them. The other girls freak because they suddenly realize that even with all of the other stress going on in their lives (and they have it) they are about to share themselves in tight quarters on an adventure where everyone has to get to know the others because there is no choice. Unfortunately, to add to the tension, the friend that knows these girls when they don’t know each other, has to back out of the trip. The start of the story introduces us to the five characters all going through something, some tension, that needs to be released on an epic trip. The author describes this time very well. ![]() It’s a YA focusing again on the 18-20 year old, about-to-be-an-adult stage in one’s life. The synopsis tells the basic story so we can skip that. ![]() ![]() Points of departure is Emily O’Beirne’s third book and I was excited to get my hands (computer hands?) on it to read. ![]()
