- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5“Even though they often played together after school, the daytime hours weren’t enough for these best friends—they needed the nighttime, too.”I really, really have a soft spot for books with nothing more than the relationship between best friends or siblings, and this one hits the mark so hard!The story follows Cara and the relationship with her best friend and next-door neighbor, Adam, from the time they’re eight years old up through college. It’s beyond satisfying to see the two interact; keeping childhood secrets, special moments, tears, smiles and promises between the two.Character development was so important in this book, and again, the author nailed it. Cara has to go from being an innocent child to a teen with a bad home life. Adam struggles from being a kid that is bullied to figuring out who he wants to be. Both are constantly changing and growing through each chapter; sometimes together and sometimes separately, and it’s beautiful! Love, tragedy, heartbreak, abuse and best-friends; I could not put this book down until it was finished.
