Best Friends

The book feels both funny and touching, capturing the complexities of friendships at that age. I wonder what influenced her to blend these tones so seamlessly.

The experiences felt very authentic and relatable, especially during the awkward moments. It made me nostalgic — am I the only one who felt that way?

The illustrations have a whimsical yet expressive quality that really brings the characters to life. I’d love to hear what inspired Hale’s visual choices for this story.
