As one of my favorite writers, I had very high expectations for this book, and I
was not disappointed! The story is cleverly put together, addressing the topic of divorce with impressive honesty
while keeping it entertaining. This commendable tactic allows the author to tackle the
emotional trials faced by children during family upheavals, ensuring they feel both
understood and supported while still enjoying the narrative! The plot addresses the many
conflicting emotions that often accompany shifts in family structures, providing reassurance to children who may feel isolated in their experiences. By tackling questions that many
young readers might hesitate to voice, the book empowers them to confront their feelings
and understand that they are not to blame for their parents' divorce… Once again, Christal Majestic has created a true masterpiece that will surely connect with
many. The mix of humor and touching moments makes it an unforgettable experience; I
found myself laughing one minute and then getting emotional just a few pages later. All in all,
This book would be a wonderful enhancement for libraries around the globe, helping to
normalize the subject of divorce and encourage a more open dialogue about it.
