It is very relatable for youth. If your parents are divorced and especially if they're remarried, this book is relatable. Reading it, you are put in Annabell's position. I saw it in the public library and it caught my eye. AHS/MS

This story explains how children who have divorced parents feel. Annabel has never met her stepbrothers and sisters, but she already hates them. Her dad sent pictures to her of Lucy and Angus, his wives children. She thought of all the reasons why to hate them. She picked on Lucy’s clothes, she hated the way they called Jack, ‘dad’, she thought of all the reasons of why to hate her stepfamily. She hated them because, they lived in a cottage, they had no idea what fashion was, and more. She even hated them for living in Australia! She thought it was weird how it was summer in December and how the Australians drive on the left side. She picks on every little detail but slowly she realizes that there is a good side in everyone.
