Ways to Improve Bailey by Cori Cooper – Review by Jessie Hopkins

5 stars from me!
Everything from sibling relationships and support systems to overcoming fears and personal growth, this book has it all.

Having her brother constantly telling her what she’s doing wrong and framing it as something their parents wanted him to do has Bailey exhausted and feeling like she’s never enough. But at the same time, he’s her brother and she loves him so she does it as to not disappoint him. Her best friend, Marnie, is there to support her but when she agrees that there’s area Bailey could work on, she knows some of them may be real.

I love the sibling dynamic between Bailey and Dayton. Especially how they look out for and respect one another while still getting on each others nerves, as siblings do. Bailey’s growth throughout the book and realizing certain things she was doing were to protect herself, which is very relateable.
