Evyn lives with her father, Birdie, and her brother, Mackie.
For as long as she can remember, they have been happy together, despite her
mother having passed away. When Birdie announces that he is going to get
married and that they will have to move to Boston, away from Evyn's whole life
and best friend, she is shocked. Everything seems foreign to her, and she just
wants to have her old, familiar life back - not this confusing mess her father
has put her in.
I thought this was an alright book. The author did a good
job of conveying Evyn's distress and horrible feelings at having to leave
everything she knows and loves behind. However, I thought some of the
characters were not realistic, and there was an insignificant amount of
character development. The story was still fun to read, and Evyn slowing coming
to accept the changes in her life was also interesting. However, I felt as if
the book was geared towards younger readers. Overall, this was an ok novel, but
not something I'd go out of my way to read.
