Three best-selling authors - E. Lockhart, Sarah Mlynowski, and Lauren Myracle - bring you on the road trip of a lifetime in this dynamic novel packed with fun, friendship, and feminism.

Jesse, Vicks, and Mel all have their own reasons for wanting to get away from their nowheresville Florida town. Add in a hot (and harmless) hitchhiker, an impending hurricane, and a close encounter of the gator kind, and the result is one sizzling road trip where the journey is far more important than the destination. Now in a fresh new package, How to Be Bad will take even more listeners along for the ride.

I had high hopes for this story and the performances were brilliant but, I have had to stop listening 12 chapters prior to the finish line as there is just no reason for me to invest in these characters any longer. There is no tangible reason for this “ spontaneous road trip“.

Perhaps I had misread the blurb and assumed it would be a coming of age story where young women were learning to accept their flaws, I didn’t find that in the narrative. It was all very surface level i.e. she’s bad because she stayed out late. I was expecting more introspection and growth.

I would estimate this was the best fit for preteens age is between 10 to 12.

Dull stort with too much chit chat. Very teen. Don't bother if you're over 20.

Narration was good
