Summary
Lottie Matthews has spent most of her life following a future someone else planned for her. Graduate from Columbia. Join the family company. Become exactly who everyone expects her to be. Then her father gives her one fully funded year before any of it has to begin, and Lottie decides she would rather spend it driving across the United States and Canada in a renovated shuttle bus, stopping at every national park she can find.
There is only one problem: she has no intention of going without Natalie.
Natalie knows how to take apart an engine and turn Lottie’s meticulously organized plans into something they might actually survive. What she does not know is how to accept a year with no job waiting, no permanent address, and no guarantee about what comes afterward. Still, Lottie drew her guitar into the plans before she ever asked. So they buy an ugly old bus, build themselves a home inside it, and leave New York with a map full of green circles, far too much camping equipment, and no idea who they will be by the time they come back.
OR
Lottie and Natalie spend a year getting lost in the wilderness, living in eighty square feet, and discovering that home has never had much to do with where they park.
