Goodreads Synopsis
One family, three sisters.
GRACE, the oldest: straight-A student.
AUDREY, the youngest: future Olympic swimming champion.
And MIA, the mess in the middle.
Mia is wild and daring, great with hair and selfies, and the undisputed leader of her friends – not attributes appreciated by her parents or teachers.
When Grace makes a shock announcement, Mia hopes that her now-not-so-perfect sister will get into the trouble she deserves.
But instead, it is Mia whose life spirals out of control – boozing, boys and bad behavior – and she starts to realize that her attempts to make it All About Mia might put at risk the very things she loves the most.
My thoughts
Mia Mia Mia girl you are a lot to handle! I enjoyed the story about Mia and her family that consist of her mom, dad and two sisters who are Irish and Jamaican. Mia's older sister Grace is considered the "favorite child". She's great in school she's smart and makes great choices when it comes to her future. Audrey is the baby sister, the best swimmer in her school and everyone thinks she has what it takes to be in the Olympics. Mia is the middle child and doesn't share any of the qualities of her sisters. Mia knows how to dress, do hair, and how to get the attention of everyone. Mia struggles to find her strong points that would build a career. However all she cares about is where the next jumping party is and designing t-shirts for her get away trip with her best friends. When her oldest sister Grace comes home with an announcement all hell breaks lose and Mia is overjoyed. She does all she can to make her older sister fell like a disappointment.
I could absolutely relate to Mia since I have a older brother, most of the time my parents would say ''be more like your brother'' or I would constantly be the one getting in trouble while he sits quietly with a smirk. I was very pleased with the writing, the flow kept me interested through out the book. What I didn't like was Mia's alcohol problem. One of the reasons it took me so long to write a review was because of the authors resolution at the end of the story. I wasn't sure how I felt about it so I needed the time to think. I felt like Mia is a alcoholic and needs help. Yes the ending was good but it would have been better if that was resolved also. This story shows you no one is perfect and having family support can keep a family strong.
