How much courage should one have to send the friend-turned-enemy packing? Easier said than done.
Caroline Jacobs knows that firsthand, when her best friend humiliated her and dumped her for life in high school cafeteria. The pain and all it had started has turned her into shy, quiet person, who love to stay invisible and nice. Yes, and a bit pushover.
But something snapped inside Caroline on the PTO meeting, when popular mom bullied another mom. And when the next day she was called to school because her daughter Polly hit the bully mom's daughter while protecting her own mom, the embers turned into fire. And Caroline put her daughter inside her car and started to drive to her hometown, finally ready to say the words she was not able to say 25 years ago.

I just loved the book! Sensitive, witty, warm and realistic, and ringing so true for anyone who was ever hurted by a friend (and it can hurt like hell). Or for anyone who is hiding because of the guilt in the prison of their own making.
And maybe the bad ones might have their own reasons and guilt to carry. Maybe. Maybe they are just selfish people. And maybe both.

I love Caroline. She is very believable in her shyness, pain and a big heart behind all of that quietness. I also love Polly, a fierce voice of reason (can I have her for a friend, pretty please?). And I am sorry for Lucy.

And I am enriched by all of the hope hidden in this book of light tone with some serious and heavy undertones. The writing is first class and the humanity inside the book even more.
Read this, seriously.

Sorry, requested but didn't find the time to read.
