This is a sweet book about growing up and letting others grow up too, about sibling relationships and how you must love people in the way where you let them be themselves and do what's best for them, if you truly love them. Tally Jo and Tempest are twins, and they'll soon turn 13. As if the growing differences between them are not enough, there's also this looming family secret to find out. And they'll find out sooner than they want to.
It's a sweet tale, although I will admit, it did not hook me much, maybe lacked some charm. It's very short, but it wants to say all the right things (and succeeds). It's definitely a good middle grade read.
One thing that was quite funny, but also threw me off a little bit? The man character, a teen (pre-teen?), uses all these weird and kind of awkward euphemisms for swear words... They might be funny to kids? That's probably quite like me. But I just sort of cringed. Examples? Plenty:
- What in the jelly sandwich
- What in the peanut butter and bananas
- How in the creamed corn
- Sure as rhubarb pie
- Sure as shampoo
So what do you think of those? :D
