We Have Confidence!

Must've Done Something Good #2

by Cheryl Cory

The O'Rourke sisters are back! It's been four years since the events of Must've Done Something Good, and Sylvie is slipping back into her procrastinating ways. When Kate and Meg show up for another "sisterly life smackdown," she can't believe it's happening again... But, if she's being honest, lounging on the couch all day watching Judge Carmen and making sure the soup cupboard stays in tip-top shape probably is not the life she was born to live. When Meg enlists Sylvie to help run a Common Sense Academy in town, she reluctantly agrees, thinking it may be just the thing to kick-start her life—and help her sister realize her dream, to boot. That is, until a rival school springs up, determined to drive them out of business. And as if that's not enough to worry about, Kate and Jared announce they're having a baby, prompting Sylvie and Evan to examine their own feelings about parenthood, and leading Meg to wonder if there could possibly be a future with Luke, the father of one of the Academy's most endearing students. Join the O'Rourke sisters as they don disguises, stage a mall melee, engage in school-to-school combat, and issue a televised ultimatum—all on their way to discovering that, when it comes to finding your dream, sometimes a little confidence is really all it takes.

Reviews

[Brenda · Rating 3 out of 5]

This sequel to Must've Done Something Good finds Syvie happily married to her former co-teacher/frenemy, and still getting into plenty of hijinks with her sisters, Kate and Meg. In need of a new purpose in life, Sylvie and Meg launch Miss Meg's Common Sense Academy, but face opposition from a similar business in the area. The B-plot revolves around Kate's pregnancy and Sylvie's subsequent soul-searching about whether or not to have kids. This book could have used more editing and structure, but it's still enjoyable and relatable!

We Have Confidence was, by far, one of the best books I have ever read. The characters were well thought out and the storyline had some of everything in it. There were a lot of the characters from the first book, "Must've Done Something Good" in it and I enjoyed learning more about them. The new characters were so great and I especially loved Sam. This book was so funny and overall amazing. I would read it again and recommend it to anyone who has a heart and sense of humor. :)

Sylvie is up to another adventure project again, only this time, it's instigated by her younger sister Meg. Just as hilarious as "Must've Done Something Good" and heartfelt in their desire of shaping young minds. There are more laughs, thoughts and family members to be had :)

I didn't like this one as much as the other one. But I think I'll reread them again and see what I think.
