I found it harder to connect with Michaela. She’s got her issues, but she’s so clearly trying to love and care for all the people around her the best she can. Cynthia, Michaela’s stepmom also won me over pretty quickly. I liked the way the relationship between them helped Michaela find her place within the family and even process some of her grief. Another character I really liked is Grammie, Michaela’s step-grandmother, who lives with the family and is terminally ill. Gabe has this easygoing, funny exterior but it feels like there’s more happening underneath that cheery surface. I loved Gabe and Cody, Michaela’s brothers immediately. So many things change faster than she can catch her breath. It starts off when Michaela learns her mom died, and right away, her grief throws her into a tailspin. I thought the beginning of the book was great. It makes me wonder if I’m just… grouchy or something? So factor that possibility into this review. First, it’s the second book in a row where I didn’t really connect with the main character the way I wanted to. I feel like my thoughts on this one are complicated. Will Michaela be able to let go of everything she’s ever known-and find herself anew-with a family who didn’t ask for her in the first place? Before she can even grieve her mother, Michaela is thrust into a strange house with a stepmom and three half-siblings, including new sister Emery, who is in the same grade and less than thrilled at the prospect of sharing her room and school life. and learns he’s been married with kids all this time, and she was the product of an affair.

Suddenly on her own, Michaela has to move in with her Dad. They barely know each other beyond surface obligations.
