Best friends Mia and Lorrie Ann couldn’t be more different; where Mia is reckless and proudly hard-hearted, Lorrie Ann is kind, serenely beautiful, and seemingly immune to the kind of teenage mistakes that Mia can’t help but make. But within a few years, fortunes change. Suddenly, Mia is free to grow up and adventure, falling in and out of love while Lorrie Ann is weighed down by responsibilities at home. And when good, nice, brave Lorrie Ann stops being so good, Mia must question how well she ever really knew her best friend in the first place.

"This is the top ten books I’ve ever read. "
Emily Calleja
"I have really mixed feelings about this book. I enjoyed that it went to some dark places exploring the friendship between Mia and Lorrie Ann but I thought the writing style was a little strange. It kept time jumping and for one portion of the book it changed from Mia's point of view to Lorrie Ann's point of view. Also, I wondered the whole time why it was so important to Mia to stay friends with and remain a part of Lorrie Ann's life. Mia seemed to have an unnatural obsession with Lorrie Ann which she never got over, even at the end of the book! It's getting 4 stars from me because it isn't a book that I'm going to forget as soon as I finish it - for both positive and negative reasons."
