Aw! This book is so cute! and the premise is quite (well in regard to the behavior of the child) realistic. Children do hate interference in their parents' time by some new party and most kids from divorced families keep hoping for a reconciliation. Usually this approach makes the kids look angry and bitter but here you could empathize with her (as did the heroine)Also, there a certain thing which goes with all of EG's books such as:- heroine thinking to herself (and keeping things 'real')- words of wisdom - an independent heroineOh, what the heck! The whole book was lovely.-The End-
