Peace, Love and Baby Ducks by Lauren Myracle(Dutton, Hardcover, May 2009)
Rating:
Carly and her little sister Anna have always been close. They complement each other and, in a world of Southern wealth, they keep each other sane. When Carly comes back from an all-summer outdoor camp, she finds that Anna has changed. Suddenly, Anna is hot and Carly is worried that her down-to-earth sister has disappeared in a flurry of bikinis, short skirts, and crushes. Carly finds herself lost and missing her sister. Will the two find common ground?
Peace, Love and Baby Ducks is a perfect book to take to the beach or to summer camp. It's filled with laughs, boy troubles, peace signs, sisterly foibles, and even a few tears. This book is destined to be passed from friend to friend, from sister to sister. Carly is a lovable heroine whose morals are well-intentioned but may need just a little tweaking. I thoroughly enjoyed watching her and Anna as both grew as women and as sisters. Mixing a lot of laughs with some tough decisions, Lauren Myracle is gifted at bringing humor to serious situations.

My only experience with Lauren Myracle is How to Be Bad, which I thought was great. I've since become a fan of E. Lockhart, but I have yet to read more Myracle. This one sounds cute. Have you read Bliss?
ReplyDeleteAw, I'd love to read this, I had a friend who suddenly became like that, just clothes/boys 24-7. It was really unnerving ^_^
