Megan is stuck in a rut. She is 25 and has never left Florida and has had the same job since high school. It's not until the local diner (where she works) closes and a high school friend announces she is invited to her wedding; in Canada, forces Megan to make some choices. She tells her dead-beat brother to move out (he was mooching off her). Megan doesn't like change and she has always put other people first.
Scarlett, who is 26, is in a similar situation. Stuck in a dead-end job, struggling to make ends meet, and regretting her lost friendship with Megan, Scarlett also has some choices to make. When they are both invited to the wedding in Canada, they decided to drive together and see some sights on the way.
This was very New Adult. Scarlett's reasons for what she did I understood, but at the same time feel she should have come clean much earlier since Megan was such an important friend (they were best friends in school and were supposed to room together in college, until Scarlett decided to do something different which lead to them not talking for 7 years).
Anyway, Megan and Scarlett do eventually talk and clear the air. Forced proximity worked in this situation. And they do come up with a plan to change things when they get home. The epilogue (2 years later) was nice.
