cnyreader's review against another edition
2.0
Gabriel is a teenager whose parents aren't getting along. He's an artist who speaks to his dead twin brother. His dad was a rock star of a little fame. Gabriel doesn't like the au pair his mother has hired to watch over him.
Seems like disjointed facts, right? Yeah. The book kind of clunks along, and stuff happens with a few moments of feeling, but overall, it was just okay. None of the characters was developed enough to feel believable, especially Gabriel. He was inconsistent and it made it difficult for me really get into the story. I wanted more, and was left unsatisfied.
Food: a strawberry Pop Tart. Not actual strawberries, and not enough to be a real meal.

A nice, fluffy piece of modern fiction. Not particularly insightful or funny or sad, but populated with interesting characters and amusing enough.
