Fractured families, blended families, school and social issues, ADHD... this book is an honest look at how all these things affect 11 year olds Elin and Jamie as they are forced to live under the same roof. I particularly found the writing of Jamie to be moving.

This is a very cute and moving book, but at first I didn't think that. For the 150 pages or so, I really considered DNFing the book. It seemed like every time I tried to read it, I would just get more and more mad at the characters.
Not many will probably have the same feelings I did towards the characters. For me, it was really more angering because it reflected my own life. My own sister has ADHD and so I found myself reflecting on my own person irritations with it. But i'm glad I pushed through.
The ending is what really raised my rating of the book. I love the character's acceptance of themselves and others. I think this book had a really good message and was very informative. I would definitely recommend this to a child, so they are able to learn more about people and why some do what they do. It also teaches kids(and adults alike) about getting along with others.
