Lindy and her family started their travel adventure after her dad quit his job as a software engineer to avoid \u201cmelting down faster than a computer with no fan.\u201d Her mom is \u201ctrying to life-coach through lifestyle,\u201d generating content as she poses in front of scenic vistas in national parks and curating flawless images of their #lifeontheroad for Instagram. But life isn\u2019t picture-perfect; Lindy\u2019s frustrated with the way her parents, especially her mom, seem more interested in how things look than how she feels: \u201cSometimes it feels like those invisible people are more important to her than anything else. Including me.\u201d When new friends Dasha and May introduce her to skateboarding, Lindy finally feels like she\u2019s found something just for her. With lined pages, a loose handwriting-style font, and sketches throughout, the book\u2019s design mimics a journal, immersing readers in Lindy\u2019s struggles. Though Lindy\u2019s voice is a bit inconsistent\u2014at times she feels alternately older and younger\u2014overall, it rings true; her frustrations and triumphs will resonate with young people.
