Not much happens in this book. A family travel to California by car for the rapture, when they will all be saved. It's the voice of Jess - the fifteen year old daughter - that makes it wonderful, and the tiny observations she makes along the way that rang so true. It's a coming of age story where Jess eats her way through the fast food restaurants of America. It's witty, and funny, and kind of sad and lonely too. Highly recommended.
