She's not the sort of person who would compromise her views for anyone, even the imaginary friend she's known all her life who's suddenly flesh and blood in front of her.Īnd that relationship is interesting as well - there's no smooth sailing, but a realistic and deft exploration of the challenges involved in having a confidant you thought could never hurt you, because they aren't real, suddenly be a living person.ĭownsides to the book? The ending is a killer and will have you gasping for the next book and wishing the time between now and it's publication date away. Kami is a character who has goals in life, and she's ruthless in her pursuit of them. It's important that we remember that boyfriends aren't the be-all and end-all, and doubly important that that message is sent out to teenage girls. It's so refreshing to read a story where the relationships are not all about boy meets girl, but female friendships and family as well.
