Loved this. Really lovely celebration of lifelong friendship. realistic about how friendships change with age while optimistic about the ways they can evolve to adapt to changing circumstances. I really felt like I got to know the characters which I liked, and I thought the story was really well-written, excepting a few somewhat cheesy lines. Would definitely recommend

If one of my friends signed me up for skydiving without my consent, forced me to go, and then abandoned me in the air and didn’t even jump themselves… I would literally never forgive them
