What is great about this story is that there are no villains. Amy Spalding expertly taps into the complexities of teenage friendships and provides the reader with two protagonists who are both equally right and equally wrong. I love that more than anything it is a story about friendship and the point of contention isn't a boy or a love triangle issues related to the two girls in the friendship and how they relate to each other. As much as I liked the intertwining timelines, at times it was difficult to keep the order of events in minds, which might have been part of not rooting for one character over another.

One thing I do struggle with, though, is storylines in which everything, or most things, could have been solved with the characters just talking to each other. But maybe that's part of the genius of the book, the frustration in the characters ability to just have a conversation and clear up all the misunderstandings.

It's a promising debut and I happily anticipate more from Amy Spalding.
