School Library Journal
Jeff and Karen have bickered constantly since second grade. However, her widowed mom and his divorced dad start dating seriously, and Karen and Jeff join forces to prevent a marriage. Instead, the younger set fall in love, and the older set realize they're not right for each other. The story is enlivened by several subplots: since Karen's mother is a vet, numerous animals scamper in and out, and there is some fortunetelling with Tarot cards for the school carnival. Fast-paced story and likable characters.
