I loved Abdi's first book, so when I saw he had written another one I was very excited. Of course it sat on my TBR list for almost a year, but when I finally started reading it I was sucked in. The 5 main characters all are dealing with their own issues, but come together as one for The Circle, a writing group put together by a teacher at the school. Through the story we hear their stories and how not everything is picture prefect at the school. Throughout the story they connect to each other and become one. They deal with the issues that come up and help each other along the way. 

One of my only issues with the book is that I came confusing Beth and Brunson. They were roommates the year prior and their stories were similar to the point that I would forget who was who. I spent each of their chapters thinking they were the other. But in the end they do say they are similar and maybe that's what Abdi wanted us to see all along.
