I'm sorry to report I had a bad nightmare about the book I'll call "Trip of Secrets." You can take or leave this comment as you wish. In real life, I worked for a woman who loved children. She was married to three men, and all of her biological children were boys. She wanted a girl so she adopted an infant girl from Peru. Unfortunately, the girl was accident prone, and she died in a car crash at age 22. Before she died, she had a baby out of wedlock. It was a boy, but in fiction, it could be a girl, who goes on your trip to find out something about her roots.
I think Bad Trip would be great for a romcom, but something similar and less punchy would be better for a thriller. I don’t know …. “When we were tripping”. Obviously this is not my wheelhouse!
I agree with Angie Brooks that "Bad Trip" sounds like a bad LSD trip. There is also a Netflix movie called "Bad Trip". I would play around with the word "secret". As TV writers you may or may not remember "I've Got a Secret" or "The Secret Storm". There are musical groups that have played around with "Hidden Souls", "Secret Souls", and "Secrets Bared". It also sounds like one of the characters should die in a novel called "Bad Trip." If that happens, then maybe "Bad Trip" works. You might try "Secrets Shattered" or "Trip of Secrets".
Love Bad Trip

I love The Bad Trip! I can see that title in the opening credits of a show!
Bad trip sounds a bit like a drug related issue - I wouldn’t ever pick it up out of curiosity for that reason. 👎
Y’all are so fun 🤩
Love it. The Bad Trip
Great title with double meaning
I don't like the title. Too simple and telling.
Yes agree that it's a good title
Love the title... very intriguing!
Thanks for sharing the inspiration for your new novel and the working title.
Sarah, Great sun hat! Congratulations to Violet on winning her race at the swim meet.
Thank you!! And I will. 😊
