       One of my favorite things about this book was that even though the girls were apart from each other, they were still very much together. It really gave me a lot of hope that all of my friendships will have a chance after high school. (Even though I know that that's probably not the case, but we'll have to wait and

You know what the secret is? It's so simple. We love one another. We're nice to one another. Do you know how rare that is?"
