I still find crushed tomato pieces on my scalp when I get shower after writing a mediocre review for Shadows!

This grossly oversimplified understanding has created many complexities in our lives and taken away from us the very fundamentals of the joy of living. Perhaps most importantly, Matt is tied to a family job that makes him miserable, and his parents don’t care much for Ava. Lily won’t send Emerson to her father’s house overnight until she’s old enough to talk—“So she can tell me if something happens”—but she doesn’t want to fight for full custody lest it become an expensive legal drama or, worse, a physical fight.And then there’s the prickly situation with Matt’s ex-girlfriend, who isn’t too eager to let him go.

I feel like she (Kinsella) had to goo and make her the baddest as possible to make Ava seem like a nice, positive person.In 2014 she published a Young Adult novel, Finding Audrey, about a teenage girl with social anxiety and her madcap family, and in January 2018, Sophie published the first illustrated book for young readers in her Mummy Fairy and Me series, about the charming adventures of a mother-daughter fairy duo (also published as Fairy Mom and Me).
