Right now Madeline is having trouble with her mother because she cancelled on their Friday night movie plans. Although I get where the mom is coming from, I want to shake her and tell her to give her daughter some space! She doesn’t need to always hang out with her!

Same! I really liked this book and loved the twist too! Becca, do you have some questions for us?

Ummm...okay...lots of questions so... The story was told pretty well. I think (view spoiler) happened too fast though. I (of course) wish it was told from Olly's perspective but also her mom's to see her reasoning behind her lying. It didn't jump around too much. It was really good.
Sure!

I loved Madeline and Olly. So cute! I think they were believable...
No, I didn’t originally approve of Madeline going outside, but then I found out that her mom was a LIAR. I realates to Maddie the most, I guess. We both ❤️ to read, and we are both outgoing and smart.
