Lulu and Milagro’s Search for Clarity

Lulu and Milagro’s Search for Clarity
By Angela Velez
Balzer & Bray, 2022. 391 pages. Young Adult Fiction 

Polar opposites, sisters Lulu and Milagro become begrudging partners on their school's cross-country college trip during which they unpack family expectations, uncover their older sister's secrets and discover the true meaning of sisterhood.

Told from alternating perspectives, Lulu and Milagro are distinct characters with their own well-defined quirks, desires, and struggles. This was a funny and engaging novel which some defining twists and moments of self-discovery. I enjoyed the journey.
