This book takes you on a ride with great humor and a cast of charactors you won't forget. When I looked back at everything that occurred I realized that there wasn't only one ride, but many from several perspective. Great read!

I loved this book. Barbie is a funny, slightly crazy character who takes us on a ride that is anything but dull. The plot and characters are unique and the story is very well-written. Truly a great read!

Through adversity comes strength.. book is
aptly named and ultimetly life can be one fantastic and fun ride
