The book I am reading is called A Matter Of Trust by Anne Schraff. I also read her book called Pretty Ugly. These two books are pretty similar it's like A Matter Of Trust finishes Pretty ugly. The book A Matter Of Trust is about how the people you walk into highschool with may not be the people you're walking out with by the end of the year. Also that boys come in between girls friendships when both of the girls like that one boy and they start arguing more.
One of the characters name is Darcy and her friend Brisana. They were really good friends throughout middle school but when they hit high school things started to change. One conflict of the story was a boy that Darcy has liked for a while had a stuttering problem and a lot of kids make fun of him so Darcy was helping him by sticking up for him and he got mad at her because he didn't want it to seem like he had a girl sticking up for him. The boys name is Hakeem and this is what he said to Darcy after class. “I know you want to help but don't stick up for me in class, okay ? It makes me look like an even more fool than what I'm already am” .
I enjoyed reading a book about role models for me because I am growing up and girls go through a lot during high school like with boys, friendships, grades etc… The audience of this book would be anybody interested in relationships with girls you had since childhood and hitting high school with them and not walking out close as you guys were freshman year. I would recommend you to read this book to get more ideas on friendships and school and other things like that.
