Really liked the portrayal of the deep need for friendship that Lucy has. It's really clear and sets up a believable reason as to why Lucy is willing to forgive some of Elle's more questionable behaviours and actions.

This was a great quick little read - as someone who is a full blown adult and trying to find friends in this world, I can see how happy Lucy would be.

Not to give anything away, but it definitely makes you think about what you want to receive from your friendships and what you give in your friendships.
