*Starred Review* LaZebnik hits it out of the park with her story about pretty, popular Chloe and her loving relationship with her older, autistic sister, Ivy. On the surface, Chloe has it togetherâhandsome boyfriend James; best friend Sarah; and an effortless, sunny disposition. At home, however, there's her stepfather, Ron, whose first experience at parenting is marked by micromanagement. When Chloe goes out without her sister, Ivy lets her know that she's lonely, which gives Chloe an idea: she's going to find Ivy a boyfriend. There's a young man in Ivy's class, named Ethan, whom she seems to like, so Chloe starts working on getting them on a date. Then she finds out that Ethan's brother, David, someone she knows and despises, will be coming along, too. They start to get along as they get to know each other and realize that they have more in common than they knew. With perceptiveness and ample skill, LaZebnik paints a vivid picture of what the sibling of a person with high-functioning autism might go through. Never resorting to stereotype, she depicts appealing, three-Âdimensional characters who flesh out a narrative that is compassionate, tender, funny, and wise all at once. This insightful, well-Âwritten story will entertain readers while inspiring meaningful empathy. Copyright 2017 Booklist Reviews.
