Relation In Pursuance Of Books Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks
Wealth, privilege, and way too many pastel-tinted opinions...that's Carly's life. And guess what? It's. Getting. On. Her. Nerves.Carly wants to be real, and she's always counted on her little sister, Anna, to love her and support her—and tell her how right she is. But when Anna turns "hot" over the course of a single summer, everything goes weird. Suddenly Anna's swimming in the deep end with the big girls—while Carly watches, hurt, from the kiddie pool. And of course there are boys involved, complicating things as boys always do.

I had really high hopes for this book. Id read an interview on another authors blog with Lauren Myracle and she talked about setting her books in Atlanta because she grew up here. I thought this would be a refreshing change from reading books set in NYC or LA. Well, it wasnt much of a change. I guess it was just equal opportunity because all this book proved is that you dont have to live in NYC or LA to be a rich, vapid mean-girl. The book was set in Buckhead which should have been sign #1 thatMy whole "relationship" with the main character was strange. I liked her, then I got annoyed, then mad, then annoyed again, then I finally liked her again (but not as much as I first did). At the very beginning I had great hope for her. Carly seemed to have it right. The very beginning of the book opens with Carly writing a letter to her sister Anna and I could totally understand what she was trying to say. I could relate to the exact feelings that she was describing. A few more pages into the
Confession: When I first saw PLBD in a bookstore, I was like "What the heck is this book about?" Talk about a cryptic title. But I chose the (excellently narrated) audiobook on a whim. The best whim ever. And if someone asked me NOW what it's about, I'd most likely stammer and "um" a lot and eventually say, "It's about sisters. You MUST read it."And you really should read it, like, if you're a girlor if you've ever been a girlor if you've ever not had a crush on the guy you should've had a crush
Peace Love and baby ducks was a really fun book to read, and i would reccomend it to anybody who likes realistic fiction, and being surprised! I must say that there were some pretty shocking parts in the book,so if you want to read this... expect the unexpected.
The Short of ItBaby sister isnt the baby anymore.The Long of ItCarly, the older sister by one year, returns from her summer trip helping the environment. Her parents might secretly think shes a hippie or cause seeker. Upon her return, her newest decision was to stop shaving her legs. Anna is entirely opposite. Even though shes younger only by one year, shes definitely the baby and princess in the family. Anna also fits in with the country club lifestyle that their parents provide (Carly snubs
Myracle's previous book, Bliss didn't do it for me, but this one is a good read I can honestly recommend to my students.The sisterly relationship in the book feels real, much like the relationship in Laura and Amy did: there are good things, and bad things, about being/having a sister. It's also good at showing how relationships between friends change, and how people change as they grow. The only thing that didn't ring entirely true was the boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, but that's not
