If someone described this book to me before I read it I would have been sure that I wouldn't like it. I would have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. Because of my physical disabilities I have a lot more time to read than I used to. I read this book in one day. I couldn't put it down. Most of my reading time is at night, and quite often I put a book down after the sun has come up and the birds are chirping. Girls in Trucks brings the main character, Sarah, full circle. She goes from her Southern beginnings as a Camellia, to NYC, and back home. She loses friends along the way and makes some. This book doesn't have a clear cut "happy ending," rather it is more true to life and the ending is one of hope for the future. Don't let the review by Cosmopolitan on the back scare you away, this isn't a brainless book. Sarah is a survivor and she proves this over and over again. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
