Julia Eccleshare's comment:
An addictive and understanding read which charts one summer in the lives of three girls and captures the importance of friendship and in particular of weathering the changes to it on the cusp of adolescence. Ama, Polly and Jo were once inseparable; now their lives hardly seem to overlap. Maybe they are no longer friends? Each has different, exciting, and dramatic summer vacations and all three come home knowing that their friendship endures at the heart of everything.
