Josie Gardner sometimes feels like she's the one who has to take care of her mom, instead of the other way around. All because her mom got pregnant by Paul Tucci in high school (with Josie) and has panic attacks when she's faced with someone from her hometown, even 16 years after the fact. And when Josie's mom sees Paul Tucci's parents in the supermarket, it's all she can do to get out of there as fast as possible.
With Josie's grandparents back in town (and with no knowledge of another granddaughter), the high school hottie pining for Josie, her mom's new boyfriend, and her mom's ever-present panic attacks, Josie has a lot to figure out.
FOR KEEPS is a charming and well-written story. Full of twists and turns, Josie finds family, love, and the ability to relax and be the kid. Natasha Friend has filled this book with some down-to-earth characters and great relationships.

I agree with most of what you said above, since For Keeps was, without a doubt, a charming story. Great review! :)
