Review
Cate’s Mum and Dad are divorced but they are on good terms, and Cate spends every second weekend with her Dad. They always do something special or surprising on the weekends, and Cate loves it.
Cate’s Mum has a new partner, Sam, and when Sam gets offered a great new job in London, her Mum decides they are going with him. But what about her Dad, and her best friend Elise? And what does Cate really want for herself?
This is a beautifully written story that I read in one go, as I couldn't put it down.
Barry Jonsberg writes stories with heart, that are warm, funny and so easy to read. This is a story of family, friends, life, and all the unexpected ups and downs, and you will fall in love with Cate and her family and friends.
This story is a reminder to us all to enjoy every minute and never be too busy to see the fun in life, wherever it appears.
A great read for all those in Year 7 and up.
