TO THE BEST FRIEND WHO EVER WAS: THIS IS YOUR GUIDE TO LIVING WITHOUT ME STEP ONE: Always make time for yourself. Chrissie Thomas has always done what''s expected of her. A struggling single mom with a mountain of guilt and very little time for herself, she''s spent her life putting others first-until her lifelong best friend, Scarlett Sanderson, insists it''s finally time for the cross-country road trip they''ve dreamed about since childhood. STEP TWO: Never turn down a chance for adventure. From the moment they set out, Chrissie and Scarlett are determined to chase joy: quirky roadside attractions, hot springs, and maybe even an unexpected flirtation or two. But as miles turn to memories, Chrissie begins to sense that this trip isn''t just about escape-it''s about a goodbye Scarlett hasn''t yet found the courage to admit is coming. STEP THREE: Live like every day is your last. Scarlett has always been the fearless one-the spark in every moment, the laughter in every heartbreak. But hidden beneath her boundless joy is a truth she''s kept from the person who knows her best. This trip isn''t just a reunion-it''s a farewell. And as they draw closer to their journey''s end, Scarlett will have to do the hardest thing she''s ever done: teach the best friend who''s always been by her side how to live-to thrive-without her. FINAL STEP: When it''s finally time to say goodbye...do it with your whole heart, and leave behind a love big enough to last a lifetime.
