Chocolate Box Girls: Marshmallow Skye

Product Information

They do everything together, but lately Skye’s been feeling like second-best – it’s the story of her life. She then runs out into the snow because she thinks she sees Finch, collapses and gets ill, and later meets a boy named Jamie Finch who's obviously set up to be a love interest and I don't care. Boys and makeup and fashion seem to occupy Millie's mind and Skye struggles to find the subjects interesting.

Summer is vivacious and outgoing, with a love of ballet and she doesn't like what she thinks of as Skye's obsession with the past and particularly with a girl who used to live in their house. She was sometimes jealous of Summer – I mean, she felt like the “shadow twin”, useless and dull compared to Summer. Now that her stepsister and stepfather, Cherry and Paddy, have moved in, things just won't go right for Skye Turnberry. But poor Skye felt like she was living in Summer’s shadow, like she was second best and always would be.It doesn't seem like a year since I first met the Tanberry sisters in Cherry Crush because they're all very fresh in my mind.

Skye is of course twelve years old, and she's oh so cool and unique and Not Like The Other Girls™ because she likes to wear unusual vintage clothes.

I guess my opinion on this book still hasn't change, even though it's been 3 years since the last time I read it. Everything else was great and Skye wasn't too annoying either (Its hard to find a good protagonist world! The distance between herself and Skye is bad but she's also finding that she's drifting away from her best friend, Millie.
