Crank Wilson and Julia Thompson love each other madly. But after Crank's huge mistake during the summer, on the road with Crank's rock band Morbid Obesity, they aren't getting along.

Sean Wilson and Carrie Thompson are the seventeen year old younger siblings of Julia and Crank. Carrie is on her way to New York to start college at Columbia University and Sean is on his way home to Boston. For the next five days, they're stuck in a car.

Erm, no

Technically a better production than the first book but the story made me cringe and rue why I picked this up even. I know this is fiction but come on man!! You have a good sweet couple trying to overcome (more like ignore for now) latent incompatibility (economic, social, educational). They are young people, they get jealous sure and the best way to resolve a jealousy fit that spanned 3 weeks is to kiss and make up and be engaged?! That's trite and just lazy writing.
