Operation Sisterhood

It has always been Bo and her mom until her mom meets. Bill. Bo’s world completely changes when they move into Bill's multifamily household. There are the twins Lili and Lee and their parents, Bill and his daughter Sunday. Sisters… Bo’s must adjust to a busy household and all their animals. 

“Bill was clearly becoming essential to Mum, and Bo was used to being ‘all I need to get by,’ as Mum would sing when they baked together.”

I love learning about other cultures in books and Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich depicts city life in Harlem and building community as a young girl trying to adjust to big life changes delightfully. The relationship that forms between Sunday, the twins, and Bo is heartwarming. There are struggles along the way but the girls learn how to live together in a tight space while still maintaining their unique personalities. At times the book felt like a lot was going on at once but I feel like that mirrors what Bo’s was going through at the moment. It would be overwhelming. Bo is learning to navigate a new life while trying to maintain who she is. 

Kristen Ariza as the narrator did an amazing job voicing each character. I loved the twins because of her narration. Will be looking into her other work.
