Book Summary:

Sixteen-year-old Andi is tired of being

a second-class sibling to perfect sister Laina. There in Laina's shadow, Andi's

only noticeable feature is her pretty awesome hair. And even that is eclipsed

by Laina's perfect everything else.

When Andi’s crush asks her to fix him

up with Laina, Andi decides enough is enough and devises

a twelve-step program to wrangle the spotlight away from

Laina. After all, great hair must count for something.

Step 1: Admit she’s powerless to change

her perfect sister, and accept that her life really, really sucks. OK,

maybe that's two steps in one.

Step 4: Make a list of her good

qualities besides great hair. There have got to be at least three

good qualities, right?

Step 7: Demand attention for more

than just her shortcomings, and break out of her shell. Easier said that done,

but worth the effort in the long-run.

When a stolen kiss from her crush

ends in disaster, Andi finds that her prince isn’t as charming as she'd hoped,

and realizes she may need a new program--perhaps with less steps!

As cracks in Laina’s flawless façade

begin to show, the sisters work together to find a spotlight big enough for

both to shine.

About the

Author

As the second

of eight children and the mother of four, Veronica Bartles is no stranger to

the ups and downs of sibling relationships. (She was sandwiched between the

gorgeous-and-insanely-popular older sister and the too-adorable-for-words

younger sister.) She uses this insight to write stories about siblings who

mostly love each other, even while they’re driving one another

crazy. When she isn’t writing or getting lost in the pages of her

newest favorite book, Veronica enjoys knitting fabulous bags and jewelry out of

recycled plastic bags and old VHS tapes, sky diving (though she hasn’t actually

tried that yet), and inventing the world’s most delectable cookie recipes.

TWELVE STEPS

is Veronica Bartles's first novel.

The Mister Book Review

Goodreads synopsis: London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face. But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past. Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own? I will admit I did have some kind of salty feelings going int
