![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They were a bit dysfunctional at times, but what family isn’t? Most importantly I loved how concerned Charlie’s brothers were about the transition she was going through. ![]() I was completely drawn into Charlie’s family, they were so kind and considerate, it was really nice to read about a family that really loved each other. It’s easy to overlook, though, because I know it’s not meant maliciously! Charlie goes on a small journey of self-discovery, learning about herself, and recognising that’s it’s okay to like sports and also be a little girly! There were a few mixed messages about ‘right’ness and ‘better’ types of girls that made me a little uncomfortable, and probably weren’t dealt with in the most sensitive way. On The Fence follows Charlie who is forced to get a job after accumulating one too many speeding tickets, because of her new job she meets new friends and starts to uncover a new side of herself that’s the complete opposite of the tom boy she is when she’s with her brothers. I fell in love with Charlie’s family, but I much prefer having one twin sister to the thought of four older brothers! Another perfect contemporary read! I loved the characters and thought the relationship was so cute! Kasie West tried to deal with some more intense issues but I thought they were pushed to the way-side with the main focus being on Charlie and Braden’s relationship. ![]()
