In this book for middle schoolers, ninth-grader Sylvie's best friend, Carl, seems to be growing away from her. Can they still be friends? Can they become more than friends? The author's acceptance of Carl's homosexuality is forthright and even breezy, allowing Sylvie to face the end of her romantic dreams while growing even closer to her best friend.
