Kirkus, STARRED Review

An Occasionally Happy Family

​

"Deftly capturing the childhood torture of family road trips, Burke nails the hilarious dialogue between Theo; his 16-year-old sister, Laura; and their science teacher dad...Each short chapter provides a glimpse of the humor and pain caused by the lack of communication and unaddressed grief that burdens each family member...With memorable characters and voices, realistic emotions, and an extra helping of humor, this title rocks...A masterful look at loss and mourning wrapped up in a hilariously painful family vacation."
