Isabelle has lived with her mother and her grandmother her entire life and when her mother died in a car accident her grandmother became her guardian. Despite all of Isabelle’s efforts, her grandmother is placed in a nursing home by a social worker and she is whisked away to the house of long lost family she has never heard of. The Monroe’s welcome Isabelle, but their teenage daughter, Mirabelle, struggles to befriend Isabelle at school as well as keep in the good graces of the queen bee, Savannah, who does not want Isabelle included in any school events. Meanwhile, Isabelle is stunned to learn that the great guy she met surfing at the beach all summer is the boyfriend of Savannah, who seems to make it her life’s mission to torture Isabelle. Will Isabelle and Mirabelle ever get along? Will Isabelle ever feel like she fits in in this new school, home, and family? What will happen when a huge family secret is revealed?
This story is full of teenage drama, but somehow manages to suck the reader in and want to know what will happen to these people. Despite the stress of always trying to keep up appearances, the Monroes do come off as normal and well adjusted. Savannah is a good villain that everyone wants to see go down, but can unfortunately also identify with as most people know a “Savannah.” Recommended for girls who like romance and lighter stories.
Young Adult Book Reviews 
Dealing with Queen Bees is not fun. Hate them! This sounds like a wonderful book. I can’t wait to read it. Thanks for the review. There is another book that I can’t wait to get my hands on. It is called, “Stelladaur: Finding Tir Na Nog” by author S. L. Whyte. The release date is March 1. The story is a young adult fantasy novel with romance. The main character, a sixteen year-old boy, discovers he has unusual powers, which takes him on a journey of discovery. The website has a video clip that is AMAZING. Such a hottie! I can’t wait to read it! http://www.stelladaur.com/books.php
