I really enjoyed this. Discusses friendship, community, trauma, and grief in a good way as a middle grade. Def teared up by the end of it.

Clara and her best friend drifting apart because of a new girl in their small town... But are they really drifting apart or have they already? The plot twist was just... when did middle grade get so dark..? I loved this. It felt like a normal story until you got to the 75% mark and it too a turn. 
Clara is dealing with grief and the lost of her best friend but she doesn't know it
 
Focusing on grief and mental illness in families and small town mob mindset.
