In this moment I am perfect. I am free to be whoever I want, and all I want to be is a woman in a red spotty dress, speeding into her future in a shiny red car.

Her solution is to buy a hot red car and drive across America. Hopelessly unprepared and heartbroken, she sets out on the road trip of a lifetime determined to find herself and ironically finds love instead. But not before she has a whole bunch of crazy adventures and wrong turns along the way.

Advance praise

‘Raw, hilarious and wise, this wild ride will have you crying with laughter.’ Amanda Keller

‘An absolutely riveting read. Hilarious and moving simultaneously.’ Mark Colvin

‘Entertaining, colourful, thought-provoking, and life-affirming … there is much to appreciate in this brave adventure and warts-and-all romantic tale, not least Jobbins’ candour and gutsy self-analysis. Expect to snort out loud as it picks up comic-speed.’ Books+Publishing
