It is so hard to be young, finding your way, depending of others who don't quite come through for you. Good story. (

Even though I do not have a sister, I was able to put myself into the story. I understand the main character, Carla's role to protect her younger sister but not being able to control her jealous towards her. The story is never boring and it is divided into many chapters, which made me finish the book faster than I have expected. I really enjoyed reading this book and I recommend this book to other teenage readers. (

Lauren Myracle nails the teenage sister relationship perfectly. A wonderful story with fully fleshed characters. (

This is a very good book that is funny, cute, and inspiring. The characters have great personalities. I would especially recommend this to someone with a sibling considering the book is about 2 sisters and their troubles as they grow and change. I read this book because I thought the cover looked unique.
