"This book is about a girl named Karen whose parents are getting a divorce. She has a hard time excpeting that fact. So she does everything she can to get them back together and call off the divorce The main characters are Karen, Jeff, Amy, Bill (her dad), and Ellie (her mom). This took place in New Jersey. There were many external conflicts between her mom and her dad. Test to Self. I could connect to this whole entire book, not just one quote. I could connect to Karen because she didn't want her parents to get a divorce and she tried everything she could to stop it. I also felt the same way when my parents first told me they were getting a divorce. I would do anything for them to say that they aren't getting a divorce. I give this book 5 stars. I could connect to this whole entire book. so I know how karen was feeling. I recommend this book to someone whose parents are getting or are already divorced."
"A good book about divorce with realistic characters and actions. I would've liked to see more development with the teacher; the jacket made it seem like she'd be a bigger player in the story. I'm not sure I really believe the brother running away, either. It's a bit dated, too, though the author addresses that in a note at the beginning. A good book for kids who are going through a similar situation, despite the flaws.
"i did enjoy this book. i liked this book a lot. i hope many other teens will want to read this book because i think it will help others to understand divorce and may see what some teens and young children have to go through."
"This book was really interesting. It talks about how parents fight until it comes to the point where they get a divorce because all of the fighting. It also shows how getting married can change your whole life plans."
