After a disappointing first meeting with her three soon-to-be stepsisters, twelve-year-old Avery has only a few weeks until her father's wedding to find common ground with the girls. Palmer deftly shows the complications of two families blending together, including awkward moments and heightened emotions. Avery is a fully developed character, but the stepsisters lack complexity.
