This was such a fun premise with a lot of heartwarming undertones, but it fell a bit flat in the end. If you've seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off you have a pretty good idea of the story line this book follows, and if you haven't seen it you're still in for a delightful adventure. It's Grace's senior year and Student President, good grades, and a college acceptance mean she's been doing little more than working hard for the last four years and she needs - no, deserves - a break. Through some good old-fashioned best friend guilt, and a totally aboveboard "kidnapping," Grace and her two best friends embark on a one last big escape before college takes them all in different directions. 

The friendship and sibling dynamics in this book were absolutely the highlight for me! Grace and her brother James are everything you'd expect from a brother-sister duo who have grown apart over the years but still clearly know one another better than anyone. Then there's Isa and Elliot, Grace's two best friends who haven't really spoken in years after a disastrous breakup. The tangle of emotions these three are working through perfectly encapsulates - to me at least - what it's like being on that cusp of adulthood, wading through heartbreak, and needing your friends to be there for you. 

I do feel like there was a lot going on at times, with a few moments feeling rushed, but ultimately this was an entertaining tale of friendship, family, and making memories with those you love.
