Lila and Lenu are best friends as young children and this first in the series takes them through adolescence. Although they are close, they sometimes veer from each other before going back. They are both brilliant, the smartest in class but only one goes on past grade school. As their paths diverge, they still see each other. On the one hand, nothing much happens in this book. On the other, it seems like EVERYTHING happens. The girls are learning and growing. They are having experiences for the first time and they share a lot with each other. The book is leisurely paced but the audio was hard to turn off. Looking forward to the next in the series.
