I received this through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Ren and Luna became fast friends one summer. When Luna moves away without a word, Ren feels abandoned and is hurt. Years later, Luna returns and hopes to pick the friendship back up from where she left it. Ren is still hurt by what happened and keeps Luna at a distance. It is again through basketball that Ren, Luna, and Ren's current friends find a way to support each other and carve out their place.
I loved the color palette, but I think it made it difficult to tell the characters apart. There were many times that I had trouble following who was saying what. I wanted to like this book more than I actually did. I think that it had a depth to it that would allow for discussion.
