Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks by Lauren Myracle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Anyone who has ever had a sister will find some moment in Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks that resonates with them. This was one of the most enjoyable “real world” young adult books that I’ve ever read. The voice was compelling and, as a whole, it simply rang true to me in a way that few books of this sort do. Lauren Myracle has a way with words and an ability to delve to the heart of her characters’ situation (in a YA novel) in a way that I’ve previously only discovered in John Green’s writing.
My little sister, Tine, just finished this book, and she also liked it. Although, she is quick to point out, it doesn’t compare to TTYL! She prefers the Lauren’s more light-hearted works.
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to have a sister. Maybe I would enjoy living vicariously through this book!
