Summary (from goodreads): Eleven-year-old Isabella’s parents are divorced, so she has to switch lives every week: One week she’s Isabella with her dad, his girlfriend Anastasia, and her son Darren living in a fancy house where they are one of the only black families in the neighborhood. The next week she’s Izzy with her mom and her boyfriend John-Mark in a small, not-so-fancy house that she loves.

Because of this, Isabella has always felt pulled between two worlds. And now that her parents are divorced, it seems their fights are even worse, and they’re always about HER. Isabella feels even more stuck in the middle, split and divided between them than ever. And she’s is beginning to realize that being split between Mom and Dad is more than switching houses, switching nicknames, switching backpacks: it’s also about switching identities.

The part where I talk: This sounds so, so good, and the cover is beautiful. There's also a lot more in the summary on goodreads, but it felt too long and a little spoiler-y, so I just cropped it here, but go over and look at it there if you want. MG is doing some amazing things, and now is a great time to get into it, friends, if you're not already.

You know, I always ask the same question, the "what are you looking forward to" one. How about a different one? What's your favourite ice cream flavour, reader?

Peace and cookies,
