Friendship bonds are tested and the very nature of loyalty is questioned in this lyrical novel about a teen whose best friend runs away with her teacher after suffering the effects of too much academic pressure. Perfect for fans of Morgan Matson and Jennifer Niven.
Eden McKinley knows she canāt count on much in this world, but she can depend on Bonnie, her solid, steady, straight-A best friend. So itās a bit of a surprise when Bonnie runs away with the boyfriend Eden knows nothing about five days before the start of their final exams. Especially when the police arrive on her doorstep and Eden finds out that Bonnieās boyfriend is actually their music teacher, Mr. Cohn.
Sworn to secrecy and bound by loyalty, only Eden knows Bonnieās location, and thatās the way it has to stay. Thereās no way sheās betraying her best friend. Not even when sheās faced with police questioning, suspicious parents, and her own growing doubts.
As the days pass and things begin to unravel, Eden is forced to question everything she thought she knew about the world, her best friend, and herself. In this touching and insightful novel, bestselling author Sara Barnard explores just what can happen when the pressure one faces to be āperfectā leads to drastic fallout.
