The author writes in first-person narrative. The central character is not afraid to break her mother's rules, which is dissappointing, but her best friend puts her foot down in the end and because she does so, it turns out ok.
The plot involves death, a psychic, tumultuous relationship with mother, blending families, finding a father who deceived his family with his mother's/a granma's help, and various other blended family issues.
The ending is not black and white, but considering the plot, it is quite realistic and hopeful.
