Title: Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks
Author: Lauren Myracle
Description: Wealth, privilege, and way too many pastel-tinted opinions...that's Carly's life. And guess what? It's. Getting. On. Her. Nerves.
Carly wants to be real, and she's always counted on her little sister, Anna, to lover her and support her—and tell her how right she is. But when Anna turns "hot" over the course of a single summer, everything goes weird. Suddenly Anna's swimming in the deep end with the big girls—while Carly watches, hurt, from the kiddie pool. And of course there are boys involved, complicating things as boys always do.
With warmth, insight, and an unparalleled gift for finding humor even in stormy situations, beloved author Lauren Myracle dives into the tumultuous waters of sisterhood and shows that even very different sisters can learn to help each other stay afloat.
Review: Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks is the wonderful story of two sisters Carly and Anna, and the pressures that come along with growing up. Carly goes away to camp for a couple of weeks and when she comes back her sweet little sister Anna looks more grown up than she does. This doesn't bother Carly at first but when they go back to school and Anna is known as her "hot" sister, Carly starts to get jelous. As the story progresses the two girls find themselves in typical teenage dilemmas involving boys, parties, and responsibility. Lauren Myracle has a very accurate way of portraying teenage girls and their emotions and I was hooked immediately.
Bottom Line: I love the way this book chronicles the complicated relationship between sisters and I definitely recommend it.
