I want to keep this as short and sweet as possible.  At first glance the cover caught my eye.  Upon perusal of the blurb, I must admit that it was partly the road trip with siblings that intrigued me, but it was the mention of distracting cowboys that sold me on reading this book.  However, once I got started, it was Charlie and Lucy that made me truly fall for this book.One of my favorite things about the book was the dynamic between Charlie and Lucy.  It's funny how two girls so different from each other in temperament could be so similar when it came to everything else.  Of course this was easy to see in the dual points of view.  I literally wanted to reach into my computer and give them bear hugs while reassuring them it would be okay. I really wanted to console them regarding the various issues they were facing, especially since I can recall being in their shoes at one point or another in my life.  That's the beauty of this book. Charlie and Lucy could easily be you or me.  Of course it might be skateboarders, jocks, science nerds, etc. instead of cowboys, but you get my drift.I was so surprised when I got to the acknowledgements because I was hoping I'd turn the page and there would be more to read.  I wasn't ready to let the girls and the farm go.  I am seriously keeping my fingers crossed that I will get to read/see Charlie and Lucy again, as well as some cowboys, the farm, and Nan and Pop, the grandparents.  I want to continue with them on their journeys and maybe even read more about the rest of Panacea: Hope, Cassie, and Jade.  I love the name of the group by the way... I also love how the book could be considered young adult or clean new adult. I guess a short and sweet review wasn't meant to be...
