Never read anything from this author before. It was a fun book. It most certainly put in mind of Thelma and Louise. Instead Tanner was a bit more younger. Were they like oil and water? Seem like at the end they were as one.
I think this story was of friendship and self confidence. Tanner as well as Louise needed a friend. And Tanner needed confidence in herself.
Who would of known when Tanner set out to get this job to help an elderly woman. That she was taking Louise on a wild adventure which Tanner thought she was a bad person for robbing a jewelry store of some kind. All along Louise was trying to teach Tanner how to survive in her weird way. A very pushy lady. Lady as much who loved her husband. A push to see Louise's friend George before something happens. The trip along the way was wild to begin with. Including some how a love interest, August comes in to the picture to help get Tanner and Louise to George. Ending up meeting face to face Louise's enemy to find out Louise's girlfriend was his wife. And his wife was treated badly by him. Somehow all along Louise's kids were believing Louise was kidnapped. Then finally Tanner gets her life straighten out and Louise gets to spend time with her friend.
There isn't much more to say on this book that some things along the way might not seem believable. Just like Thelma and Louise.
I give The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise 4 
Fun!
