Publisher Comments:
"Life is an ugly awful place not to have a best friend."
Halley and Scarlett have been friends for years. People know Scarlett as the popular, flamboyant one; Halley's just the quiet sidekick, but she doesn't mind. The two of them balance each other perfectly — until the beginning of their junior year. Then, Scarlett's boyfriend Michael is killed in a motorcycle accident; soon afterward, she learns that she is carrying his baby. For the first time, Scarlett really needs Halley. Their friendship may bend under the weight but it'll never break — because a true friendship is a promise you keep forever.
Review:
"A keenly observant narrative full of witty ironies." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
