			        		Gr 9 Up&#x2014;Sixteen-year-old Mia Campbell-Richardson is a self-professed messy girl who does and says all the wrong things. She is the middle daughter of Jamaican-Irish common-law parents, Jason and Nikki. She does not know what her niche is, unlike her oldest sister, archaeology student Grace, and youngest sister, swimming prodigy Audrey. She is seen but not heard by Mum and Dad. She studies too little and beats herself up, especially when it comes to her massive Afro and short stature. She resents growing up in the shadow of Grace, who can never do any wrong in their parents&apos; eyes. When Grace suddenly returns home from an archaeological dig in Greece, the family learns about her pregnancy. Mia sees this as an opportunity for Grace to get into trouble. She wants it to be all about Mia. Instead, Mum and Dad allow Sam Castle, the doctor boyfriend of Grace and the father of their unborn child, to stay at their home. Mia goes down a road of self-destruction. The tumultuous sibling rivalry takes an unexpected turn when two major events occur. Williamson has created one of the truest and honest characters YA fiction has not seen in a long time. Her acerbic witty one-liners and snaps will keep readers chuckling. The reference to Netflix shows and social media are fresh and current. Williamson has created a tale in which an interracial family takes center page and deals with universal family issues. VERDICT A fresh, contemporary YA for most collections.&#x2014;Donald Peebles, Brooklyn Public Library

    Pig Headed Teen Story....
  

*by A***R on December 11, 2017*









  
  
    But I love it! The story was interesting and full of slang from Rushton; I’ve never been but this book was so vivid. It also incited emotional, but happy feelings from me. I strongly recommend this book- especially for a teen having a hard time dealing with the same issues Mia was.

    YA Contemporary Recommended Age: 16+ (mature scenes
  

*by P***N on October 6, 2017*









  
  
    Rating: 4/5Genre: YA ContemporaryRecommended Age: 16+ (mature scenes, alcohol abuse, some slightly triggering scenes)Thanks to the @kidlitexchange network for the review copy of this book – all opinions are my own.“That girl is such a mess.” “Why can’t she be like her sisters?”Blah, blah, blah. That’s all Mia Campbell-Richardson ever hears. From her parents, her teachers, and her never-do-wrong older sister, Grace.So what if she parties too hard and studies too little? Who cares if she tends to end up with the wrong guys or says the wrong things at the wrong times? She’s still a good friend (except when she isn’t). And she still knows the way things should go (except when they don’t).When Grace comes home with shocking news, Mia hopes that it’s finally Grace’s turn to get into trouble. But instead it’s Mia whose life spirals out of control.So if you’ve ever said something you later regretted (likely), accidentally broken a friend’s heart (possibly), or ruined a wedding in spectacular fashion (hopefully you haven’t), All About Mia will make you laugh, cry, cry-laugh, and laugh-cry in recognition that life is sometimes most entertaining when it’s at its most unfair. – Amazon.comI’ve never had the joy of experiencing human siblings (although I am the older sister to tons of cats and dogs!). So going into this book I felt a bit scared that I wouldn’t be able to understand what Mia would feel since she is the middle child of 3 children all together. However my fears were quickly calmed when I read this fun book! I instantly became absorbed in Mia’s life and issues and I was so invested in her wellbeing. I credit this to how wonderfully well the book was written and how easy of a read it was (I read it in one day!). Not only did I feel invested in Mia’s life, but I also felt that most of the other characters were very well developed and were wrote so realistically. The plot is very well developed as well and it naturally comes about. The struggles that Mia goes through fill so natural and feel like something that could happen to a middle child and a teenage girl. I also want to praise the author on the diversity of the book and that the author used a realistic teen in her book. I feel that I read a lot of books about teen girls in which they seem so perfect. I actually have a term for this. I call it the Moana character because in my opinion Moana was perfect. She did the island duties and did everything her parents wanted, the only thing she did wrong was that she wanted to go explore the ocean beyond the reef. And because of that she felt like she wasn’t the perfect daughter. Coming from someone who messed up not as much but close to what Mia did, I feel that characters wrote like that aren’t realistic to me. This is why I connected to Mia so much. She did bad things and she wasn’t at all perfect. She messed up majorly a lot of times, like a real teenager does.While I immensely enjoyed the book I felt that the pacing was a bit until you got used to it. The story jumps around a bit and skips indeterminately around to a random place in the future and so it takes the reader a bit of time to figure out where in the timeline they are. I also feel that the reader is introduced to characters like Mia’s friends or her parents, but they aren’t as well developed as some of the other major players in this story are.Verdict: Never before had I read about such a realistic teenage character in my YA foray before and I’m honestly so sad that I completed the book. I fell in love with Mia and I just want her story to continue! This book is an excellent read for YA readers and maybe some mature middle grade readers, I would just be cautious about some of the topics discussed in the novel. If you enjoy YA contemporaries and want a realistic character, then this book is definitely for you! This book releases September 12, so pre-order now!!

    She's been using her anticipation about a long anticipated trip with her three best friends to stay on a somewhat even keel
  

*by J***V on July 9, 2018*









  
  
    Ask any sibling about growing up and what you'll hear is unlike anything their brothers or sisters will tell you. That's a big part of why Mia's such a hot mess. She sees herself as the failure sister in between Grace who can do no wrong academically and potential Olympic swimmer Audrey. Grace deals with this sense of futility and the accompanying parental disapproval by partying hard and often. In fact, much of her misery is self-inflicted because she's unwilling or unable to see her behavior from others' points of view.  She's been using her anticipation about a long anticipated trip with her three best friends to stay on a somewhat even keel, but when older sister Grace comes back from an archaeology dig in Greece pregnant, it upsets multiple apple carts. Mia is shocked and angry at how quickly her parents come to accept the pregnancy as well as welcoming her boyfriend Sam into the family. Add in that her parents are finally going to get married and the bridesmaids' dresses are dictated by Grace's pregnant belly and you have the start of a perfect storm that boils over in several ways, alienating Mia from everyone. Then Audrey snaps and runs away while their parents are in New York on their honeymoon. Grace and Mia must ignore all the sisterly harshness and friction if they're going to find their younger sister and prevent Mom and Dad from rushing home. What transpires while they're searching for Audrey is life-changing in a wonderful way, allowing everyone to begin seeing the family with fresh eyes. A good story for teens who have cracks in their families or feel like they don't fit in.
