Summer on the Road

The summer break was never something Lauryn 'Lau' Roosevelt looked forward to. They were always the same nine drawn-out, boiling hot weeks filled with the same boring tasks. She would much rather take a very long nap through it all, only waking up long enough to stack up on chocolate chip ice cream and soda.

However, this year, it was Lauryn's first summer after graduating high school and she wanted a change. And after a string of - unfortunate - events, she got the change, only not quite how she expected it. She somehow found herself travelling across America with her flirt of a best friend, the badass girl who terrorizes the entire school, a snobbish guy with his head far too high up his arse for his own good, an immature college moron who joked about everything, and his wingman, a cocky asshole who just wouldn't leave her alone. Oh, and of course her morbidly obese german shepherd, Poppy.

Together they get lost, fight with others and each other, get drunk off their asses, hook up, go skinny dipping, go shoplifting, have way-too-close run-ins with the police, find love, share secrets, get lost some more, and most importantly have more fun than they ever had before.

And that is how the thought to be shitty summer, turned into nine weeks that would leave permanently engraved memories - and scars - with all the teens.
