Blended is about Isabella, a girl whose parents are divorced. She has to split her time between two homes and figure out where she belongs. As she deals with family, friends, and being from two different cultures, Isabella faces tough situations that help her learn who she is.

I enjoyed how Blended explores real-life challenges through Isabella’s eyes. Her journey feels honest and emotional, and it made me think about identity, family, and fairness in a new way.

The mix of serious moments and light-hearted ones kept me interested.

Readers who enjoy realistic stories with strong characters will really connect with this book.

It’s a powerful and thoughtful read that makes you see the world differently.
