I loved getting to know April and her friends in this gorgeous book. I loved that was about friendships and how when romance fades, there are still people you get to keep.

April’s story is messy, Complicated and heartbreaking. The people we keep explores the Universal message of hope and belonging in found family. I cried for her and the beauty and love she was able to find.
