It's An Aardvark-Eat-Turtle World (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
4 STARS"Rosie and Phoebe have been best friends since they met on the Divorce Express, shuttling between their parents on weekends. So when Rosie's mom falls in love with Phoebe's dad, and they all move in together, it seems perfect. But Rosie soon learns that having Phoebe as a sister and having Phoebe as a friend are two very different things. And having an extra parent around isn't easy either. Rosie always thought that she and Phoebe would make great sisters. But can their friendship survive being in the same house?" (From Amazon)I was a little obsessed as a child with divorce - and no my parents were not divorcing - I just wish they were. So these were a bit of how-to for me - lol. A great novel! I love Danziger's writing.
Having a family doesn't mean that everything is going to be easy and all the family members will get long.It means that although you have problems you are willing to work them out in order to be a family. Rosie learns this the hard way. Phoebe was a little self-centered but I feel bad for her. She had to go through so many changes in her life and adjusting is not easy. Rosie had a lot of high expectations. She thought that all the families are like the perfect families that are shown in movies. Real life is not a movie. Families aren't perfect. A really interesting and enjoyable book. :)
