Publisher's Summary:
Side A: Laney's Going Solo
Laney has just finished graduate school in California and sees her cross-country drive as the perfect chance to reflect on the past before facing her future back East. With 3,000 miles ahead of her and a box of mix tapes as her only companion, she envisions a trip spent reminiscing; whether it's her first camp kisses, high school parties and crushes, or college loves and losses, Laney's most treasured memories - good and bad - are all just a song away.
Side B: A Change of Tune
Laney's mother, in town for graduation, thinks a mother-daughter road trip sounds like much more fun than going it alone - and Laney can hardly refuse. Soon, she's giving her mother a crash course not only in pop music of the '70s and '80s but also in her own life... for somehow Mom doesn't know her daughter as well as she'd like to. Together, as America whizzes by, Laney and her mother are turning up the volume of their relationship... and learning that there's nothing more revealing than the soundtrack of our lives.

I didn't get any of the relationships
OK, the potential of this book was huge. A cross country trip by a daughter with her cancer survivor mother. On the trip, They listen to the daughter's historic "mix" tapes which tell the story of the daughter's life and her relationships through the music.
But ho-hum. The story of all her relationships are toothless. The main character Laney seems to meet them based on looks not substance and the book ends up in situations like, "one week later" they were still together having breakfast or shopping. It's like getting a mix tape and finding bad songs on it. Typically the relationship has no build up and they always just kind of dissolve. Like a person who is always changing their relationships, you don't want to give her a guest on a wedding invitation because she will not be with the person two weeks later.
Generally, Laney meets guys, falls for them immediately and then either she goes away or they go away. It's all very non-dramatic. The scenes are written almost in a mono-tone.
The far better story line is the mother being sick throughout Laney's college years. Mostly though, it is described by Laney as being worried or sad about it. I guess we are supposed to connect that with her inability to form relationships because of her inability to adequately feel and care for her sick mother during this time. Still Laney seems to become involved so easily you don't get attatched to the characters, because it's often just words on paper without Laney's feelings expressed.
The story concludes with Laney re-connecting with her first love, she met as a camp worker, which the "love", in the story, only lasted two days. Still she seems to somehow obsesses about him through some other "important" relationships in her life. I didn't catch the connection of why he seemed so important. This guy caused Laney to break with her best friend over a stolen mix tape he had mad for her. Years later, the two friend get over it years and attend a wedding together. Campboy is there! The friend sees him wants to tell Laney, but some dance breaks out at the wedding and the friend FORGETS to tell her that he is even there. This friend even knows how much Laney has obsessed over this guy for years.
