    When we were first introduced to the Miracle Girls, they were just four unique and very different girls who all
    survived accidents that were deemed to be fatal. Because of a writing assignment, as fate would have it this
    unlikely group was brought together.

    In the first novel, Ana was the narrator. Now it is up to Christine to captivate us with her woes in life.

    Seen as the loner of the group, Christine has her own style and way of doing things. Ever since her mother
    passed away in a car accident, a part of her went missing. Struggling to find herself again, Christine is used to
    keeping to herself, dressing the way she wants to, and only speaking how she really feels to the school’s
    counselor - only when she is ready.  Still not able to fully cope with her mother’s death, Christine can’t seem to
    move on. However, her father is already on that road, preparing to marry The Bimbo.

    Throw in a soon-to-be stepsister who invades her space, a boy that could possibly be a heartbreaker, and the
    fact that she is struggling with the new school year, and Christine needs all of the advice and support she can get.

    However, the other Miracle Girls are having trouble sticking together, despite the fact that the summer had
    helped them bond, as each takes up their own agenda. Hopefully, the girls are able to forget their differences
    and band together to help their friend in need, or else them breaking up would not be so hard to do.

    Dayton and Vanderbilt once again captivates the audience with BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO with the
    realistic situations and problems that will most likely connect with readers. The MIRACLE GIRLS is a great
    series full of substance and meaning that will make any parent willing to go out and buy a copy for their teen -
    and secretly for themselves, too.
