After some of the serious books I've listened to, I needed a fluffy book to listen to as I drove to IL. “The Mall” was perfect for this! It was so 90s and I could relate to all those stores I used to visit back in the day.

“The Mall” centers around Cassie, a recent high school graduate, dealing with relationship and family drama, while working her final summer before college at the local mall. She reconnects with an old best friend, who gets her involved in a treasure hunt, an old mall legend. At times, Cassie comes off as self absorbed, but she's redeemed at the end.

I chuckled to myself a few times. To get back into a seventeen year old girl's mindset takes some getting used to, but if you can get over it, the book is enjoyable. It was just what I needed to get through the long days of driving.
