Details

Bee's dad has a weird new girlfriend, Jazzi, who is ruining Bee's life. She makes disgusting food (spicy scones!), loves to clean (scrubbing the microwave!), calls Bee Beatrice, and keeps Bee from having any special time with her dad. Nanna says Bee should give Jazzi a chance. But Jazzi keeps making things complicated for Bee. The girls at school act like Jazzi is Bee's stepmum and call her a liar when she says otherwise. And Jazzi tells Bee a secret that Bee's dad doesn't know.

But now Dad is infatuated with his new girlfriend and everything seems to be changing. Nanna likes Jazzi and thinks Dad deserves companionship, but Bee just can’t stand her too-perfect personality and pushy ways. To make matters worse, Bee hasn’t been getting along with her friends at school. Bee is comforted by the letters she exchanges with her two guinea pigs, which she assumes her father has been writing. Then Jazzi lets Bee in on a big secret, bringing her along to meet the mentally ill brother that no one knows about, not even Dad. During the visit, Bee takes an instant liking to Harley and sees another, less perfect, side of Jazzi. Relations between Bee and Jazzi seem to be improving, but then Jazzi moves in and unintentionally makes the mistake that drives Bee to take drastic action. Topics Families. Blended families.
