Hey, everyone! 👋🏼💕 How are you all? How has your summer been so far? 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 I know this post is pretty early, but I wanted to get it out before the book releases! 😆 Not sure if there will be another post on the regular schedule or not, we shall see. 😉😌🤗

So, today’s review is for Brothers Divided by my friend Jaiden Phillips! 🥰

Blurb: I’d lived thirteen years without them, I could live my next ninety or so just fine without them too.

Stranded on a ranch in the middle of nowhere with a guy he hates, a cowboy copy of himself, and a crazy collie, Steffen is about as miserable as they come. How could he be anything else when there’s no asphalt for skating and his friends might as well be on another planet. Why his mom thought sending him to spend the summer with Ricardo Alcatraz was a good idea, he’d never know.

Diego never thought the day would come when he’d get to meet his twin brother. He’s always wondered what it would be like, how different they would be and what kind of connection they would share. He never imagined they’d stand face to face, and it’d feel like miles separated them.

They’re brothers divided by an invisible boundary, but this summer in New Mexico may change everything—for Steffen and Diego.

I ate this one right up! 🤗🩷 With a deep, necessary message for every weary heart, friend and sibling antics, and a fun cast of characters, this will be great for your middle grade reader, or yourself. 😉🤗 I found the message deeply relatable, and I think it is one a lot of people need to hear. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Personally, I wish we got to see more from Adela. 🤔 I felt that we could have gotten to know her a little better, so she was more than their dad’s sweet girlfriend. But I understand that we can’t include too much in a MG book. 🤣

Perfect for lovers of The Parent Trap, ranch life, and light yet meaningful reads! 💕💕💕

CWs: Fist fight where a character sustains a head injury, not graphic. Characters jokingly calling each other moron, a son lying to his father, but he is found out. Friends and siblings jokingly swat at each other.

Thanks so much to the author for this ARC! 🥰 I was not required to leave a positive review. 🩷

I’d love to hear if any of you have read or plan on reading this one! ☺️ Or else, what have you been reading? 😉🩷

That’s all for today! 💕💕💕 Thanks for reading! 🤗🥰 Until next time. 😉🫶🏼
