Meanwhile, Emme wishes she were back in Captiva Island with her friends Olivia and Lucy. Her two moms, Mom J and mom C, then switch places! Mom J is the stay at home one, and Mom C is a litigator! When Emme and Hannah, both VERY similar, meet again when Emme's cat Butterball goes missing, this time they get along! Through good times and bad ones, the palindrome lover girls learn one thing: The best of friends are always there for you. Even if you hurt their feelings, and make mistakes.

Meet Hannah. Her name is a palindrome. Her birthday is on New Year's. She wishes she had a cat. She's medium height and a little awkward. Her life has NOT been fun lately -- her dad and stepmom are having a baby and, worst of all, her best friend next door just moved away. Now a new girl is here, taking over her best friend's bedroom . . . and her own identity.
Meet Emme. Her name is a palindrome. Her birthday is on New Year's. She loves her enormous orange cat. She's so short that last week she was mistaken for a kindergartner. She's found moving hard . . . but at least there's the girl next door, Hannah. Maybe they'll become friends?
While Hannah and Emme are alike in so many ways, they're also different in some wrong ways, too. Is this the perfect friendship . . . or a recipe for disaster?
From award-winning writer Carolyn Mackler comes a funny, smart story about finding out who your best friends are, in good times and bad.

I really liked this book. Hannah lives in the house next door to Emme. Their names are both paladroms and they both have the same birthday-New Year's. But Hannah's best friend Sophie used to live in that house and Hannah isn't really nice to Emme. But a cat brought these best friends together. In this actin filled book, I rate it 4 stars.
