Hauptbeschreibung

  Now a movie on HBO Max starring Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira! 'A remarkable debut about the long and winding road of adolescence. Hilarious journeys and heartbreaking choices.' STEPHEN CHBOSKY, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower Veronica never thought she’d want to fail a test – until she finds herself staring at a plastic stick with two solid pink lines. She’s pregnant. With her college future fading before her eyes, Ronnie has to make a tough choice – an abortion. But the closest clinic is over nine hundred miles away. Faced with a treacherous boyfriend and no car, Ronnie turns to the one person who won’t judge her: her ex-best friend Bailey. What could go wrong? Not much, apart from stolen cars, crazed ex-boyfriends, aliens, and the pain and heartbreak of a broken relationship … In this warm and darkly funny road trip story, Veronica and Bailey drive a thousand miles to an out-of-state abortion clinic – rediscovering their friendship in the process. A sharply-observed, bittersweet road-trip story for our times; perfect for fans of Booksmart and Juno. Female friendship is at the heart of the story: Veronica teams up with her ex-best pal and social misfit, Bailey. A YA Thelma-and-Louise story with a strong social and reproductive justice theme.
