Three girls who couldn't be more different have one goal in mind: to get the heck out of Dodge. Well, Niceville, Florida, actually. But it might as well be called Nowheresville. Vicks is the wild-child fry cook whose boyfriend left for college and isn't returning any of her calls; Mel, the good girl in expensive jeans who just wants everyone to like her; and Jesse, the trailer-dwelling human morality meter who's discovered a life-altering secret
Each has her own reason for climbing into Jesse's mom's beat-up station wagon and hitting the highway for a weekend trip, whether she knows it or not. Armed only with Vicks's ancient, battered copy of a guidebook called Fantastical Florida, a map Jesse picked up with her dwindling funds, and Mel's mom's credit card, they're Miami bound. Hearts will be broken, friendships will be tested, and a ridiculously hot stranger could change the course of everything. And if they don't kill each other first, Vicks, Mel and Jesse will not only have a road trip to remember, they'll have friends for life.
The idea of the story of How To Be Bad is okay at first sight, but somehow I missed a plotline with depth. The story moves from A to B, but that didn't move me as a reader. It was going to nowhere in the end and it was all about the boyfriends they where trying to get/get back in between the 'adventures' during their roadtrip to Miami, and that just isn't enough to fill a book with for me. I think this book will appeal mostly to young teen girls. For me, the blended talents of the three authors wasn't a big hit.
