Rules for life-- Darlene Ryan

Izzy's in high school, and her mother died two years ago. Her older brother lives alone in his own apartment, and her dad lives with her. Izzy and her dad talk about everything together, and one day her dad told her he was going to marry another woman since he wanted a complete family. Izzy is totally against it, but he doesnt give a **** what she thinks. Izzy barely knows her, and doesnt really like her. her mother (who died) had all these made up rules, such as ones like "chocolate chip cookies and good jewelry go with everything". Izzy always tries her best to refer to them to help make dicisions. Later on, turns out the woman her dad is about to marry (Anne) in pregnant! Izzy gets even more concerned when they get married, that she will have to live with a woman she barely knows, and also have her as a mom! i almost broke into tears reading about Anne's baby and what happenned to Jason (her bro) maybe you will too, if you read it!!

oya, if you are really immature, this book isnt for you!
