After an incident at a pool party this summer, Rylee is starting 8th grade without any friends. One of Rylee’s electives is journalism, and there she meets a girl named DeNia. Rylee and DeNia are paired together for a journalism article about friendship and the science behind it. Rylee embarks on a journey to discover the true meaning of friendship.
I was utterly captivated by this book! It was absolutely phenomenal, and every page was enthralling. The book had a profound and poignant tone, with occasional touches of humor that added depth to the story. DeNia quickly became my favorite character due to her charmingly idiosyncratic nature and her role as a dependable and supportive friend. This novel truly stands out as one of the most compelling and authentic portrayals of friendship that I’ve ever encountered.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a thought-provoking and fascinating literary experience.
