I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for review.
During the school year, in Michigan with her lifestyle-blogger mom, stepdad, and younger half-sisters, she goes by AJ. AJ is a prim and responsible older sister. When she visits her dad in the summer, she's Della, who enjoys her relaxing, laid-back lifestyle in Florida with her dad and older half-brother and sister. But when her younger half-sister gets into trouble and is sent to Florida for the summer, her two worlds collide that she's tried desperately to keep separate. Plus, when did annoying Jude get so cute.
This book was said to be "perfect for fans of Jenna Evans Welch and Morgan Matson", which I am a fan of both authors. So that's why I picked it up.
This was an enjoyable read. I like how different AJ/Della's world's are from each other. Like her, I am the oldest of my mom's children, but almost youngest of my dad's (though youngest girl). But unlike AJ/Della, I've never went by separate names or felt I had to keep my two worlds separate.
I loved the blossiming romance between Jude and Della. Between him and Lex (AJ's Michigan boyfriend), I was totally on team Jude. He was WAY better than Lex.
I LOVED reading the parts in Florida. I'm not from there, but I enjoy the scenery that is descriptive in the book. I don't think it would have worked if it had been placed elsewhere.
YA Romance readers, you've gotta pick this up.
