Books of Interest: The Wangs vs. The World

I love road trip stories, especially if the author is good at describing all the things and places the characters see on their trip. The Wangs vs. The World seems like it will be a funny book as the family is dealing with a change in their lifestyle while hitting the road as a way to run away from it.

Book: The Wangs vs. The World by Jade Chang

Description:

Charles Wang, a brash, lovable businessman who built a cosmetics empire and made a fortune, has just lost everything in the financial crisis. So he rounds up two of his children from schools that he can no longer afford and packs them into the only car that wasn’t repossessed. Together with their wealth-addicted stepmother, Barbra, they head on a cross-country journey from their foreclosed Bel-Air home to the Upstate New York retreat of the eldest Wang daughter, Saina. The trip brings them together in a way money never could.
