Young Love

LoveReading Says

Kelsey is convinced life would be better if only her best friend Lewis would finally come round to being in love with her. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be happening — instead he’s mysteriously moving further apart from her. What does she need to do differently?

You don’t often see this kind of relationship represented in stories — or at least, I haven’t read many — of, spoiler alert, friendships where they may have been in love with the other at some points but where the moral is that they are not right for each other and it’s not healthy their insistence on denying that fact. It’s an in-depth portrait of the misunderstandings between these two characters over the years of their relationship, and the extensive lies these two people tell each other even though they’re so intricately involved in each others’ lives — because they’re so involved — and the lengths they go to to hide the truth from each other, wishing that things were different, whether in their lives or in their relationship to one another.
