About this listen

In this heartwarming story of hope and second chances, Emma and Mel are about to discover that sometimes life is about the journey, not the destination…

Classic forgetful Emma—she’s done it again, this time accidentally ruining a Valentine’s Day surprise for her best friend Mel. Desperate to make up for it, she promises Mel a birthday trip to Edinburgh—a girls’ weekend to end all girls’ weekends. There’s just one massive hitch…

Emma has already promised her grandma that she’ll go on a coach trip with her to scatter her grandad’s ashes…In Edinburgh. On Mel’s birthday weekend. Oh God.

That’s right, with one innocent but inevitable diary clash, two very different road trips are thrust together. Surrounded by a bunch of septuagenarians who seem to have forgotten how to have fun, can Emma support Grandma through her grief and give Mel a birthday to remember? Or is their friendship doomed to become roadkill? She’s about to find out…

Critic reviews

“Listening to Imogen Church narrate this story is an opportunity to spend a week on a guided bus tour up the coast of Scotland to Edinburgh. Listeners will also learn some history and connect with a dozen or so relatable characters.… Church adeptly portrays each character with subtle inflections to make it clear who's who.”AudioFile Magazine

Good story, bad performance.

I enjoyed the story but it took all my courage to listen to the end. I have heard bad narrations before, but this was the worst ever.

For Young readers

This is for young, teen readers. The 2 main characters are completely self involved and unaware of others. They focus only on themselves, their wants, needs, and how the world solely affects them. The high pitched squealing is reflective of their immaturity- all of this is the point of the story. Without giving too much away, they do grow, a little bit.
I made it through, but just barely. This was just not what I was expecting.
