Trade review
Trade paperback. A new book of humorous memoir from the comedian, actress and author. A follow-up to "The Tent, The Bucket & Me", which sold almost 60,000 copies, this charts Kennedy's disastrous American road trip holiday in 1989, which she embarked on with her best friend Bee. A coming-of-age tale, it will appeal to fans of Tony Hawks and Stuart Maconie. 'I love her writing' Jon Ronson
Synopsis
It's 1989, and Emma and her best friend Dee head to the USA to make their fortune. But completely inept and virtually unemployable, they discover that they can't even get a job in McDonald's. Forced to travel from California to New York with only pennies in their pockets, they bounce from scrape to scrape, surviving on their wits.
