Friends Like These
by Meg Rosoff
Review by Bel
Phwoar! I was hooked from the electric first chapter! A bright, easy romp through a sweltering summer in 1980s New York. Coming of age via a vital but complex female friendship – navigating first love, and first job. A perfectly contained diversion from the real world. Technically Young Adult but I enjoyed it, despite being an old adult! Easy escapism.
