Review
Two best friends, Arianna and Kaylan, have plans for what they are going do before their 12th birthdays which they are going to celebrate together. Unfortunately, things happen and their friendship gets strained so their party plans just might not happen after all. Arianna and Kaylan are very good friends but when misunderstandings happen, their friendship takes a deep hit. Even though they still care for each other, hurtful things, which happen in many friendships, damage their friendship. The story itself seemed very typical of middle school drama stories, nothing really makes it stand out. For readers that enjoy books about middle school drama.
Overall Book Score: good
