What a charming adventure She Is Up to NO Good was. This was the perfect book to read after coming off an emotionally intense thriller. Up to No Good tells the story of Jenna who after four years of marriage is blindsided by divorce papers. Jenna then agrees to accompany her grandmother, Evelyn, on a road trip to the town where much of their family history is started. Along the way, Evelyn tells the story of her star-crossed teenage love story of her and Tony. Once they get to Evelyn's hometown, Evelyn goes about her mysterious business that she won't go into detail with Jenna about. But much to Jenna's surprise, she is left in the hands of Joe, who happens to be the great-nephew of Tony. Who will do more than show her around the town, but also reminds her of who she was before her life imploded. What follows is a tale of teenage romance, family history, and finding yourself along the way.
