Reviews
"""A delightful tale that navigates the precarious ebb and flow of friendship dynamics."" -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ""This story is simultaneously incredibly original and utterly universal. The emotional roller-coaster of navigating friendships as they change shape, particularly in middle school, is portrayed with admirable sincerity, gentle humor, heartbreaking pain, and of course plenty of texts and emojis. Libenson weaves a beautiful, accessible, layered story yet again."" -- ALA Booklist ""Libenson perfectly portrays the gaslighting and passive aggression that can be the hallmarks of middle-school relationships turned sour, and readers struggling with cracking of beloved friendships will find reassurance in the book's 'this too shall pass' sentiment."" -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"
