Hit the Road Book

I was a few pages from the end of the book and ready to give it 4 stars, do a happy dance that it all turned out okay, and call it a day. But nooooo! It's like getting into a movie and then right at the end when everything starts to calm down and you're getting to the conclusion...the screen goes black and the end credits start rolling. You're left there thinking, "What? Is that the ending? Really??". It didn't feel like it really ended. The book did have a sense of finality, but the kind you get from the end of a chapter. I guess the author thought that the rest of the stuff wasn't imporatant to what the message of the book was.
There's no denying that this book was hilarious. Brit(the main character) was funny in her panic. Her grandmother, Nannie, and her friends "the girls" added a whole lot of humor. I liked that the author wrote about the struggles that come with old age, that don't only involve bladder problems and failing memory. You see how as Nannie and her friends get older they begin to lose more and more of their freedom. The book kept me interested until the very "end".
It feels like there should be another book. I would read the sequel to this in hopes of getting the ending that I didn't get from the first one. Your left hanging at the end, and I would've really liked to see how it all worked out. It's a funny and interesting book, but it doesn't feel complete on it's own.
