Mystery
Realistic Fiction
Romance
* * * Stars (Pretty good)

When Abby’s best friends convince her to get a DNA test she doesn’t expect to find that she has a secret older sister. But the more she learns the more indisputable the facts are. After meeting Savannah (Savvy), who has a huge social media presence, Abby decides to attend the same summer camp where Savvy is working – ostensibly to work on her SAT scores, but really to get to know her sister better and see if they can figure out why their parents have kept secrets from them both. There are lots of challenges to the sisters’ budding relationship that they have to work through, and explosions when their families discover what’s really going on. Additionally, both Abby and Savvy have unrequited romantic interests who are RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM and they need to deal with their feelings (or face eternal pain and misery). Drama! Hilarity! And some heartfelt honesty. A fun summer read that is just pithy enough. For high school teens.
