Twelve Long Months by Brian Malloy

4.0

A story about friendship, love, and how life can change when you leave your small hometown to go off to college in the city. Part of this story has been told before, but the character development in this story is very strong. The relationship between Molly and Mark is beautiful, as it changes from unrequited love to a beautiful friendship that is stronger than the dating relationships they both encounter in their first year away from home. The friendships between the three girls is also refreshing, deep and free of the drama that plagues some YA novels (and many actual teenage friendships). Recommended for high school or older.
