If He Had Been with Me

I listened to this book while I painted my 16-year-old's bedroom. The book is centered around two kids who grow up next door to each other. Their moms are best friends, destined to be together always. That is, until, they start growing up and deciding their own paths. They each encounter typical pre-teen, and then teen growing pains as they try to find their respective places to fit in. The book is about their paths through this time of uncertainty.
