I picked this up for the kidney disease rep but that turned out to only be a small part of it, which was a little disappointing. But the way Solomon explores the relationship between Sophie and Peter and how it transforms over the course of the book was interesting to read about. I loved the background characters and subplots as well, especially with Tabby, Sophie's younger sister who had a baby at 15, and Liz and Montana, who were a queer couple Sophie befriended at school.

If you're looking for a book that explores the importance of friendship, this might be a good read for you.
