This is an awesome book about the sacredness and eternity of friendship. The very beginning of this book just captivated my attention. It automatically kept me asking what was going to happen next. Every detail and character was so authentic, so real, and from some of which we can relate our life and our friends to. A simple, yet powerful, masterpiece. 8/10.
