LitPick Review
Tamika is a teenager who has lost touch with her mother, Laura, but a summer trip to the old family house changes that. As Tamika's mother tries to live out her teen years again, they seem to switch roles briefly. At first, Tamika sits around the house and does nothing but complain and ask if they could return home. However, after some time looking through the house and learning about her Mom's and her family's history, Tamika takes charge and proves that she is a mature young woman. In the end, Tamika learns to be grateful for her family, friends, and for her family's history.
Opinion:
This is a great story about the friendship that is possible between a mother and her daughter. The storyline was interesting and because the book was written from Tamika's and Laura's point of view, it was easy to understand the reasons behind the actions of both of the main characters. Perhaps the most interesting part of this book is that it was written by a mother and daughter which really allows a reader to be able to connect with it. Overall, it was an enjoyable easy read that keeps you entertained the whole way through.
