It was cute I guess, the sports parts and friendship aspects were fun. However, I felt the stepmom story line was exaggerated. The stepmom was not new to the family, it sounds like they had an okay relationship earlier when the main character was young. The arguments between the two felt blown out of proportion just to create a story, it felt forced. Overall it was a decent read because of the friendships and sports. It wouldn’t be on my list of MUST READ, but if you’re looking for a fun fairly quick read, it’s okay.
