Our Year of Maybe by Rachel Lynn Solomon
4.0
Peter and Sophie are best friends, Peter needs a kidney and Sophie would do anything for him. She gives Peter a chance to live a normal life but it creates some unexpected changes in their relationship.
This book is a bit of a roller coaster, it deals with illness, sexuality, religion, identity, love and co-dependant friendships.
Written in dual POV this book was as good as it was frustrating. I felt for Sophie the entire book, she was so eager to do absolutely anything for Peter she couldn’t see how it wasn’t healthy or constructive for her own life. I know this happens but it was frustrating to see she was giving up everything else just because she loves him and they have such a long friendship.
As much as this book is about their friendship and unrequited love it’s also about their individual growth. Whilst some YA books can be rushed this one is not and the characters and stories seemed like real teenagers and real issues they would deal with. I highly recommend this one if you’re into a deeper YA story.
I honestly picked this book up because I adored the cover and was so pleasantly surprised to find such a wonderful book.
