|a Fifteen-year-old Carly's summer volunteer experience makes her feel more real than her life of privilege in Atlanta ever did, but her younger sister starts high school pretending to be what she is not, and both find their relationships suffering. I continue to be impressed by Lauren Myracle's ability to strike exactly the right note.|a Peace, love, & baby ducks / |c Lauren Myracle. Of course, there is a love story as well (that's the big heart on the front cover!) when Carly falls for someone she shouldn't, hurting the guy who she should be with all along. Carly also learns more about racism and realizes that she encounters it more often than she ever realized.
She asks herself important questions about religion and the hypocrisy that she sees at her school, Holy Redeemer. Carly is unsure about how she fits into her wealthy southern world after a taste of something different. Myracle deftly shows how sisters can bond and fight and be jealous and adore each other, usually in a ten minute span.Īside from the central plot of sisterhood, Peace, Love & Baby Ducks also tackles larger issues. There are very few times in my life that I have wished for a sister (brothers rock!), but reading this book was one of them. These are difficult to maintain in her uppercrust Atlanta neighborhood, at her pretentious school, and in light of the fact that her sister Anna has become a babe. : Peace, Love & Baby Ducks: 1ST EDITION/1ST PRINTING STATED hardcover NEAR FINE/dustjacket NEAR FINE brodart covered, SIGNE Don the by author. Carly returns from a summer hippie work project full of ideals and granola vibes. Growing up in a world of wealth and pastel-tinted entitlement, fifteen-year-old Carly has always relied on the constancyand authenticityof her sister, Anna. It is, simply put, a love letter to sisters. The cover is fantastic and the novel is even better.
I have previously enjoyed Lauren Myracle's books Eleven and Twelve, so I was psyched when the cover of Peace, Love & Baby Ducks caught my eye at the library.
