Girls Like Us

“The alternating first-person point-of-view chapters offer a complex view of relationship challenges. Ruby’s arcs with her mother and stepfather are especially touching and well-developed… Sweet and healing.” —Kirkus Reviews“It’s rare, especially in the young adult space, to get a romance sequel that follows the same characters, allowing readers to see what comes after the initial love confession and delve deeper into the trials of a long-term relationship. With fun banter and a cast of lovable characters, this book is sure to please readers who loved the first and series newcomers.” —Booklist
