Kim Culbertson‘s contemporary YA novel is a believable look at teenage friendship and how it changes as people grow and seek out new experiences and new people and although I could have done without the obligatory romance element (which never convinced me) and the European tour element is a bit hokey, I did for the most part believe in Abby and Riya and I liked how Culbertson doesn‘t offer pat resolutions to her characters‘ issues.
