But this summer, things begin to get more complicated as Seattle and her "brother" Critter begin to explore their possible feelings for each other. ( )I wasn't ready for the book to end - there should be another book about these characters! This novel explores the inevitable weirdness that comes from that first time in a platonic best friendship when the guy and the girl suddenly realize they're the opposite sex. The interesting twist is that they're stepbrother and stepsister. No, Zeises doesn't go anywhere illegal or creepy with that, but it's interesting to watch Critter and Seattle dance around that as they try to navigate their friendships, relationships, and crazy family life. As always, Zeises leaves readers ruminating about the characters and their choices. There's a lot of focus on family in this book, which I love, because families really are microcosms of society, so the way people exist within their family structures definitely spills out into the world. There's also quite a bit about the huge spectrum that exists between "buddies" and "boyfriend-girlfriend." no reviews | add a review
