 This was a good book, life lesson where taught in the book. It took this girl to go through therapy to figure out that he mom was dead. Then to top it off her damn friend started dating her friend then go pregnant. Who really are your people.

A great read about female friendships and longing

This is a spare, beautifully written book of prose about young female friendships—the secrets they keep from one another, the support they give unconditionally, the hurts that are caused either by accident or on purpose—and the impact those friendships have later in life. Woodson is such a gorgeous writer; I haven’t read her work in a long time and will go back and read the other books of hers I have now.

4.5/5. Audiobook format. Beautifully written, almost hypnotically narrated. Short, powerful, evocative. Well-grounded in its place and time.
