Hello! God help me, I cannot remember this book for the life of me, but I read it all the time back in middle school!
It was a teen book about a girl who ate marshmallow fluff sandwiches and her father had a girlfriend Miriam, who owned a clothing boutique called Miriam’s Magic, I think. That’s all I remember. Help!
Puppy Love, by Jeanne Betancourt.
“A child of divorced parents, eighth-grader Aviva has to deal with her two families, a new baby brother, grief over her dog’s death, a crush on an unattainable boy, and a troubled schoolmate who turns out to be a really good friend and strong support.”
There are five books about Aviva, so you might want to check the others if Puppy Love doesn’t sound right.
