''Life is an ugly, awful place not to have a best friend."
Halley and Scarlett have been best friends for years, sharing secrets, clothes, and crushes. 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.

''Life is an ugly, awful place not to have a best friend."
Halley and Scarlett have been best friends for years, sharing secrets, clothes, and crushes. 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.
Then, at the beginning of their junior year, that balance shifts. First, Scarlett's boyfriend Michael—the class legend, the boy to date—is killed in a motorcycle accident. Soon afterward, she learns that she is carrying his baby. For the first time, Scarlett really needs Halley. But even as she does ' her best, Halley's facing her own pressures—pulling away from her controlling mother and dealing with her first serious relationship. Halley and Scarlett's friendship may bend under the weight, but it will never break . . . because a true friendship is a promise you keep forever.
Sarah Dessen's unique voice is funny, poignant, and true, with a warm Southern accent that anyone who has ever had a best friend—or a first love—will understand.
