Plot:
Carly went to a summer camp to learn more about herself. While she was gone, her sister Anna went from little girl to not so little girl. With the beginning of the school year here, the two must navigate high school differently. They have grown up in a privileged community where anything they wanted was handed to them on a platter. Now, with her new beliefs about the world and herself, Carly must look at the differences between the way she was raised and the way she thinks. The two sisters help each other as they learn what really matters to them in this world.

Review:
This is an interesting look into the lives of privileged children. The sisters go to a prestigious school, shop when they want, and have a lifestyle many dream for and yet they are not happy still. This book explores the meaning of money, friendship, family and faith in the grand scheme of things. It is slow at times which could cause the reader to lose interest.
