YA
Sarah has liked Ryan since eighth grade, and now she's jealous that he's her best friend Brianna's boyfriend. When she finds out Ryan likes her back, Sarah knows she'll hurt Brianna if she gives in to her feelings. The narration is sometimes overdramatic, but Sarah's emotional mixture of guilt, joy, and growing self-assurance is realistic, resisting easy resolution.
