Lulu and Milagro's Search for Clarity by Angela Velez
4.0
Sisters Lulu and Milagro couldn’t be any more different from one another. Lulu is a self-professed nerd who aspires to attend a prestigious summer environmental program. Milagro’s focus is on her boyfriend, Pablo, and the latest fashion and makeup trends. One thing these two sisters do have in common is their big sister, Clara. Clara has set the standard of expectations for the two younger Zavala sisters, being a high-achieving, model student and overall good human being.
Everything shifts in the lives of the Zavala sisters through one college tour trip that forces each sister to dig deep within themselves in order to grow individually and as a sibling unit.
This YA novel elicits quintessential heartwarming vibes. It’s a feel-good story that will make you smile, laugh, and root for each character. I particularly enjoyed the way the author weaves in Peruvian culture, and single parenting into this novel. There was a nice balance of lighthearted narrative and moments that create space for deeper thought.
