In this heartwarming story of hope and second chances, Emma and Mel are about to discover that sometimes life is about the journey, not the destination . . .

Classic forgetful Emma – she’s done it again, this time accidentally ruining a Valentine’s Day surprise for her best friend Mel. Desperate to make up for it, she promised Mel a birthday trip to Edinburgh – a girls’ weekend to end all girls’ weekends. There’s just one massive hitch . . .

Emma has already promised her grandma that she’ll go on a coach trip with her to scatter her grandad’s ashes . . . In Edinburgh. On Mel’s birthday weekend. Oh God.

That’s right, with one but inevitable diary clash, two very different road trips are thrust together. Surrounded by a bunch of septuagenarians who seem to have forgotten how to have fun, can Emma support Grandma through her grief and give Mel a birthday to remember? Or is their friendship domed to become roadkill? She’s about to find out . . .
