description: The Perks of Being a Wallflower meets The End of the F***ing World in this dark young adult comedy about four unlikely friends dealing with the messy side of grief who embark on a road trip to Graceland.Asher Hunting wants revenge.Specifically he wants revenge on the drunk driver who killed his mom and got off on a technicality. No one seems to think this is healthy though which is how he ends up in a bereavement group (well bereavement groups. He goes to several.) Its there he makes some unexpected friends: Theres Sloane who lost her dad to cancer; Will who lost his little brother to a different kind of cancer; and eighty-year-old Henry who was married to his wife for fifty years until she decided to die on her own terms. And its these three who Asher invites on a road trip from New Jersey to Graceland. Asher doesnt tell them that hes planning to steal his dads car or the real reason that he wants to go to Tennessee (spoiler alert: its revenge)but then again the others dont share their reasons for going either.Complete with unexpected revelations lots of chicken Caesar salads at roadside restaurants a stolen motorcycle and an epic kiss at a rest stop minimart what begins as the road trip to revenge might just turn into a path towards forgiveness.
