Just Visiting by Dahlia Adler

5.0

I was fortunate enough to get an early read on this book, and I'm so glad I did. I adored the friendship between these two girls, their individual stories and growth and how they formed a sort of unit as they dealt with that strange time at the end of high school and before college. One character deals with poverty in a very authentic way and I think this is so important--it's an issue that's not dealt with very much in YA and this book handles it with sensitivity and realism. The voices were distinct and both of their paths to self-discovery held element I connected with and I think teens will too. I loved that this book really focused on friendship--it's a best friends book--and we still got a good helping of romance. And oh, the romance. It's lovely and honest and real. I just loved this book. I would give it ten stars if I could. Can't wait until it's in the world.
