pickEve & Andrew have been best friends forever, but at the start of 8th grade everyone around them suddenly decides they need to be girlfriend & boyfriend. Both really want to just stay friends, but now they don‘t know how to get back there.
Middle school relationships are frequently a mess, and this book covers pretty much all the ways. Yet, at its heart, it‘s about the importance of friendship and communication.

While I DNF‘d this one it wasn‘t a bad book and will likely be surpassed.
bailedDNF- The dialogue in the book between her and other characters was great. She got great advice and that advice could be helpful for a teen girl to think about if in the same situation. Then the MC ruins it by a self centered comment after she's away from the other character. I wasn't able to continue being in the mind of the MC, but the ending helps to show the consequences of actions made and a little prayer can go a long way.
“I had spotted it first….But I could see that Shawna wanted it too, so I just backed off and let her get it. Talk about self-sacrificing.”
Ugh, I‘m remembering why I took a break from this book. I get that the point is she gets jealous, but every interaction she has she thinks she‘s better than the other character. I think I‘m going to read the last chapter and call it a DNF. 🤦♀️
