    The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louse
    I loved this fun adventure, mystery and the developing friendship of the two women. I highly recommend it. The characters are well developed and their banter and antics will keep you engrossed and wondering what will happen next. Tanner is 21, angry and adrift since she lost her soccer scholarship due to her leg injury. Louise is 84, smart, spunky, quirky, and has a mysterious past that even her family doesn't know about. Her daily routine includes a crossword puzzle and 4 pm vodka happy hour. After Louise breaks her hip, her daughter hires Tanner as caregiver. Their adventure begins when Louise wakes Tanner in the middle of the night to drive her from Atlanta to California to help a friend. Tanner only agrees when Louise offers to pay her. They have challenges and scares on the trip as they try to outrun the FBI. Was Louise the woman on the news who masterminded a 3 million dollar jewelry heist forty years ago? In spite of their sixty year age difference, the unlikely pair learn lessons from each other and develop a caring friendship. I laughed a lot at their misadventures and I enjoyed this delightful book.
  • Kathleen Q. (Quincy, MA)
    Tanner & Louise unlikely but perfect pair
    I absolutely loved this book! This book was an excellent example of how inter-generational friendships can have so many wonderful benefits, even if the friendship is formed in unconventional ways. It also shows that what is shown on the outside may not match with what is truly in one's heart. This book is good for both book clubs and people who like to unwrap unconventional friendships.
  • Molly A. (Pryor, OK)
    Tanner and Louise is the Bees' Knees!
    Think of swirling Driving Miss Daisy together with Thelma and Louise, and you have The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise!

    Tanner is a brooding, directionless young woman spiraling from losing a college soccer scholarship and seemingly existing on the periphery. Louise is a quick-witted grandmother in need of an in-home assistant who hides several surprises. The two women mix as well as oil and water initially, since Louise is only patronizing her daughter in allowing Tanner to move in to help her.

    One day Tanner happens to catch a news story on tv about a long-sought after criminal whose description is Louise to a tee. She barely has time to question the validity of her suspicions before she becomes embroiled in the adventure of a lifetime.

    This story made me laugh out loud in public, while waiting in a doctor's office, and even brought tears to my eyes. The characters were very relatable and appealing, and the story was plausible and well-developed. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a satisfying read, or who knows of that odd older gentleman or lady who seems like there is just something about them lurking with mystery!
  • Chris D.
    Road trip!
    I really enjoyed Tanner and Louise's story. At the beginning, it was hard to imagine that they would get along with each other at all. When they were forced to hit the road together, however, they made a very good team. This was a fun, light-hearted read, although there were serious aspects to it, and I would highly recommend it.
  • Jeanne W. (Colorado Springs, CO)
    A fun little romp across the country
    Tanner is funny in her panic and her horror at old people and Louise is stereotypically crusty and that makes them an unlikely and enjoyable pair as they go "on the lam" and try to reach Louise's old friend George. Little breadcrumbs are dropped along the way to clue in the reader (and Tanner) to the real story. The episode at the St. Louis Arch is funny and Tanner is such a likable character. Louise doesn't feel like a complete character or the parts of her personality don't quite cohere but the story is enjoyable enough to overlook.
  • Mary Ann S. (Virginia Beach, VA)
    Loved it!
    What a delightful book! I loved the story and was often surprised (in a good way) by the story line. I loved the arc of Tanner and Louise's relationship. I loved the dialogue. This was my first Colleen Oakley book, but won't be the last. The book made me smile many times - highly recommend!
  • Kathryn H. (Narvon, PA)
    Comfortable Entertainment Without Being Predictable
    I asked to review this book because I loved "The Invisible Husband of Frick Island". If you enjoyed that book, you will enjoy this one although the plot is very different. The book is light hearted with quite a few twists and turns, so you don't really get to figure out what is actually happening. Some comparisons to "Thelma and Louise" because they are on a road trip outrunning the police. The two main characters are well written, with 21 year old Tanner prematurely angry and bitter, and 84 year old Louise cranky yet feisty. A step above chick lit for a cozy entertaining story.
