Libby In The Middle by Gwynth Rees

In this book, Libby is the middle child between older Bella and younger Grace.

After Bella has been bullied at school and fallen in love with boyfriend Sam whose only a year older than her, their mum and dad especially decide to move so the girls can go to a private girls school and live near to their aunt Thecla whom believes she's an artist when the reality is she hasn't ever sold a painting.

But the move can't split Bella and Sam as they take the risk of Sam squatting in an empty house in the village after their family move to another house upon seeing the state of their former New home. However after stealing money to keep him in food, Bella keeps getting Libby to lie and be her alibi for sneaking off to meet Sam. Soon enough their parents and aunt pressure them to confess to whom stole the money and the sisters realise they envy each other's position and value in their family.

It was a very realist story with the trio of sisters relationship and the young couple wanting to stay together. The move reactions are to be expected and I really liked the story for all the contributing dramas that collided.
