I've read a number of books by Melissa Kantor, but it's been quite a while since I've picked up one of her books. I saw this one (and its sequel) when I was browsing the shelves of my local library and decided it would be a good read. I have to say, it was a good decision. It went by pretty quickly, but it was a very good book.
It's about 3 best friends (Victoria, Natalya, and Jane) who have been best friends for a long time and have always gone to the same school. Now that they are starting high school, they are all 3 going their separate ways. The book follows the three as the venture out on their own, forge new friendships, take on new adventures, all while trying to maintain their friendship. Their motto for their group is to "Do what you're scared of doing". I love how this was applied throughout the story. I also enjoyed how the characters were developed in a realistic way. I could relate to each of the characters in some way, and it made it easier to relate to all of the things they were going through.
While I knew that there was already a sequel, I enjoyed the ending of the book. It wrapped up most of the loose ends from the story, but I could tell that it was leaving it open for another book to follow. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. I look forward to reading the next book in the series!
