I do think that the middle of this dragged a bit. There was a cute romance added, but the real focus was the platonic relationship and the difficulties of loss. I enjoyed that the story alternated between then and now portions to give a fully rounded look at the story. Bullying was a prevalent topic and I felt like it was realistic, especially regarding the danger of rumour spreading. Friendships end for all sorts of reasons and it's a really hard loss and I think this book covered it tremendously well. You got to see a lot of development, growth, and healing from the main character. It offered just the right amount of reconciliation that I hoped for. I've said it pretty much every time I talk about wanting to read this book, but the loss of friendship is something so prevalent in all stages of life and it's a topic I wish was covered more.
