I loved/hated Smidge and I couldn't decide if I should allow her behavior because she was dying or not tolerate it because it was crazy. I loved that about the book it had dynamic, flawed characters who I actually cared about. I love books about friendships and while I think I would have made different choices than Danny I haven't walked in her shoes so I truly don't know what I would have done. I read this one in under a week which says a lot these days (four kids in my life). I read this book a year ago and I remembered it this morning when it's characters came back to me (which they've done several times over the last 12 months). It's the story of two life long best friends who are facing something really heavy together and trying to find their way through it.It will make you cry your eyes out especially if you've got a best friend who means the world to you. Even though it isn't the main focus there's also a pretty great little love story in here too.Don't read it anywhere near your hormones... but get it when you have time, it's lovely and funny and sad and sweet.
My big issue with this book is that I hated one of the main characters (Smidge).

It'd be like not voting for yourself. People vote for themselves, right?

Prepare to laugh, cry and throw things. In all the best ways.

This book made me cry. Definitely Ribon's best work so far.
