Change is something that we should embrace, but isn’t always easy

I liked it. It had a bunch of story base and also it’s kind of relatable

Great

Loved reading/listening to every word of this book. I’m up in age but like teen books to relax.

Bo's new beginning.

Here is a story about a single mother that married a man in a strange family. But will her daughter Bo fit in? Bo, is use to being the only child. But now she has three step siblings. Well, really one. Bo has to leave behind her quaint one bedroom home and start a new beginning. She leaves physical school to enroll in an independent school. Her mom has to cancel a very important trip and it makes No question a lot about this new beginning. Bo tries to keep her mother's feelings in the forefront of her own happiness. But the biggest project is Bo getting use to a sister that tries to hard, a sister that loves animals, and a sister that's a fashion guru. But they seem to have a few things in common. Music, age, and making their parents proud But how will music, communication, and life situation make this family work? What are the girls planning? Will these four personalities clash or can they get it together? I'm trying not to tell this story. It does seem a bit slow pace in the beginning, but while continuing this read...you need this pace so you won't become confused with everything that's going on. My favorite character is actually Bo and Lil. I enjoyed Dougie also, but he kinda fades away with the move. My least favorite character was Sunday. I actually wished Lil was Papa Bill's daughter 😅. I definitely need to have more of these characters. Especially Bo and Lil. I really hope this becomes a series.
