Reilly, K. J. (Writer of young adult fiction), (author.).

Summary:

Asher Hunter wants revenge. Specifically, he wants revenge on the drunk driver who killed his mom and got off on a technicality. No one seems to think this is healthy, though, which is how he ends up in a bereavement group (well, bereavement groups - he goes to several). It's there he meets Sloane, who lost her dad to cancer; Will, who lost his little brother to a different kind of cancer; and eighty-year-old Henry, whose wife decided to die on her own terms. When Asher invites this unlikely bunch on a road trip from New Jersey to Graceland, he doesn't tell them that he's planning to steal his dad's car and credit card, or even the real reason he wants to go to Tennessee (it's revenge). But then again, the others don't share their reasons for going either. With surprising revelations, unexpected humor, lots of chicken Caesar salads at roadside restaurants, and an epic kiss at a rest stop minimart, what begins as a road trip to revenge might just turn into a path toward forgiveness, in more ways than one.
