Among friends

What could be worse than a mother who doesn't think much of you? Than feeling like nobody will ever understand? Like your best friend will always outshine you and you will never be thought of as an equal?

Cooney tackles all of these fears and more in a timeless manner, told through the diary entries of three former best friends, their mysterious mutual crush, and the “preppy” couple who catalogs their relationships from afar.

Spectacularly realistic characters and situations and fast-paced action make this a very engaging read. I'm disappointed that I didn't discover Cooney earlier in my life.
