What Are Friends For? by Sarah Sutton
4.0

3.5/5 stars

I enjoyed the friendship between Remi and Elijah. Although, they didn't seem like best friends considering how dishonest they were with each other.

Elijah was definitely my favorite character, but I couldn't stand most of the other characters. Jeremy and Savannah were both awful in their own ways.

Jeremy seemed so different at the first party compared to how he was when he did stuff with Remi.

Also, I just couldn't understand how Elijah could go out with Savannah. She was horrible to Remi, and she didn't even care about Elijah.

I also didn't like the view of marriage in this book. The author made it sound like you should just get a divorce when you get tired of a person. Considering that there is a lot more to marriage than just love, I thought that this view of marriage was pretty crappy.

Remi and Elijah's school was also stupid. I can't believe how the adults acted towards Remi at the end of the story. Also, I just couldn't understand how Remi could be failing art?!?!

The reason that I am giving this book 3.5 stars instead of less was because there were still things that I enjoyed. I found that there were a lot of funny parts, and I liked the aspect of art in the story.

While I didn't love this book, I am still excited to check out some of the other books by this author.
