Book Review - Every Other Weekend

📖Recommend for Grades 7 and up📖
by Abigail Johnson
Due to the grief of losing the oldest child, Adam’s parents have separated. Adam and his brother Jeff now have to spend every other weekend with their dad at his new apartment. On those same weekends, Jolene has to spend her time there due to her parent’s messy divorce, even though he is never home. During their time spent at the building, Adam and Jolene form a friendship that helps them get through this time. Little do either of them just how important they will become to one another.

Alternating between Adam and Jolene’s perspectives, this story is told primarily during their shared time together at the apartment building. There are some snippets of time in-between though, often told through text messages. While both the main characters are forced to spend their time where they don’t want to, their circumstances for it are very different. These differences make this book great when it comes to sharing various stories. The differences in their situation make it difficult for Adam and Jolene to fully understand what the other is going through, which aids the story.
