Synopsis: 
After her parents' divorce, Bea's life became different in many ways. But she can always look back at the list she keeps in her green notebook to remember the things that will stay the same. The first and most important: Mom and Dad will always love Bea, and each other.

When Dad tells Bea that he and his boyfriend, Jesse, are getting married, Bea is thrilled. Bea loves Jesse, and when he and Dad get married, she'll finally (finally!) have what she's always wanted--a sister. Even though she's never met Jesse's daughter, Sonia, Bea is sure that they'll be "just like sisters anywhere."

As the wedding day approaches, Bea will learn that making a new family brings questions, surprises, and joy.

My Rating: 

My Thoughts:
This pulled on the heartstrings!!! I enjoyed Bea and her inquisitive mind. Bea is not afriad to ask questions. She's open to everything. I loved her purity. The fact that she could love Jesse was amazing. I adored that her parents taught her what love truly was! This was a book that really shot in the heart in a beautiful way.

The continual love that follows throughout the story is proof that love conquers all. I think Bea learned so much about the world in seeing how things were for her dad. I loved that the adults never once said anything rude to one another. They each respected the other and cared for Bea.

Great read.
