Abby Day takes a DNA test to support her secret crush’s photography project but discovers a full sister she never knew existed. Her older sibling, Savannah Tully, is a structured Instagram influencer who is the polar opposite of the spontaneous Abby. The two teenagers meet at a summer camp to investigate why their parents kept the secret while navigating Abby’s complicated feelings for her best friend, Leo. As they dig into their family history, they confront long-held lies and the logistical challenges of merging their two different lives.
Middle grade and young adult readers who enjoy stories about complicated family dynamics and secret identities will find this useful for understanding how siblings build connections later in life. It serves those interested in the social consequences of genetic testing and the friction between online personas and private realities. Readers finish the book with a clear perspective on how reconciliation requires honesty from parents and why friendship often serves as the foundation for romantic stability during adolescence.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
