Heading into their senior year, Brighton is challenged with an opportunity that can change the course of her future. The only problem? She just might have to step out of her best friend’s shadow.
But when Leah doesn’t support the choices she makes, Brighton is forced to reevaluate what true friendship is.
Brighton is changing and exciting doors are opening. A new world of music, friends, and even love are falling at her feet. But it’s hard to enjoy it when Leah’s life is spiraling out of control.
Now Brighton must try to not only save her friendship, but also her friend, before it’s too late.

My Review
A well-written, fast-paced contemporary read that explores what friendship is. This book does have some heavier topics in it but the author handled the topics well. The characters were well written and have very different personalities which makes for a fun read. Overall I really enjoyed this book, 4 stars.
