This was a great book! I enjoyed the way that the story unfolded and the diversity included (like a LGBT+ main character). It was such a great book and I totally recommend it to you!

I really enjoyed this read! It was a good break from the heavier books I read, but it was just slightly out of my age range that I would enjoy. I will 100% recommend this to my younger readers, as I think it'll be way more appropriate for them. I loved Autumn's story and watching her grow and learn. Life can be scary, especially with big changes like what Autumn was experiencing. I was very frustrated with the way Autumn's mom was handling her kids emotions. While it can be a very real experience for a lot of people, I kept getting so frustrated at how blind Sasha and Harrison were being during the whole change. They ignored their children's emotions, there wasn't any real talk with their kids and throughout the whole (and very VERY quick move/wedding process) they blatantly shut down their kids emotions and said "just be a family". I was so frustrated with how it was handled, but I loved the Parent Trap style story line. I overall really enjoyed the book, even if I'm not the biggest fan of the parents.

This was really sweet. Autumn's story is one that I think will resonate with many young readers. Dealing with change and uncertainty, whether it's with family, friends, or crushes is something everyone has to go through at one point or another. Autumn's realization about her feelings felt very believable and honest. I also love the friendship that forms at the end.

This was a great read that touched me more than I anticipated! Autumn wants nothing more than to break up her stepfamily-to-be and get back to New York City where she belongs. Her new stepsister reluctantly agrees to help her break up their parents, but they end up getting closer. I like the real feelings that Autumn goes through, and the added element of her confusion as to whether she has a crush on her long-time friend is great.

This was very cute!!! The parent trap (both versions) is one of my favorite movies of all time and this book is perfect for fans like me. I loved the fresh new take and the clear voice. Would absolutely recommend to my friends with younger daughters.

Thank you, Random House Children's, Delacorte Press, for allowing me to read The Sister Split early!

Auriane Desombre's middle grade debut was an effervescent little gem of a novel with both hilarious hijinks and moving moments. I loved it.

I finsihed this book in one sitting. This book is such a classic!! The mix of young queer romance added a fun twist and Auriane didn’t mess it up! I love how Autumn had someone to look up too and how she got to talk with Dana. I admire how realistic the events are. For example, I would’ve also try to ruin a marriage because of all the sudden change. This book is so cute and a fun quick read!!

This was a fun read and its exploration of the feelings of anger and powerlessness when it comes to changing family dynamics and moving definitely touched me. I really could feel Autumn's frustrations with her mother not even bothering to listen to how she felt about the move and just forcing her into many situations that she wasn't happy with. One thing I would say is that from the blurb of the plot given I was expecting to have a dual POV book, seeing both Autumn's and Linnea's perspectives of everything but that is not really what happened. It was all from Autumn's POV which was fine, but slightly misleading.

The writing on this was great! It was simple in the best way. The storyline was fun and even though we’ve seen The Parent Trap trope come and go, this felt new. I was impressed by the character development and how rich each personality was.

A quick read about two families trying to blend together.

Autumn doesn't realize she has a crush on her best friend, just when she is forced to move to the suburbs, that she misses her terribly.

It isn't until Linnea and her friends talk about what a crush is, that it occures to Autumn that that is what is going on.

And does she go and tell anyone? No, of course not. She decides the best way to get back to New York and her crush is to mess up her mother's relationship, so they won't get married.

It is kind of funny what she does, but I keep wanting to shake her and tell her she should talk to someone.

But the book did make me cry, so I give it an extra star. And having been in the same position, of realizing that what I felt was a crush on my best friend, it is something you often don't understand, so kudos for that.
