Mallory and Mary Ann are best friends. They do everything together, mostly just the two of them. Then Chloe Jennifer Jackson-Brown moves in right across the street from Mallory. From the first second Mallory sees her, Chloe Jennifer interferes with Mallory's friendship with Mary Ann. Mary Ann wants to involve Chloe Jennifer in everything they do. Mallory is not okay with that. Will Mallory be able to keep her best friend and maybe even be okay with Chloe Jennifer joining their friendship?
I have only read a couple books in the Mallory series. I have always liked the series. It is extremely well written. It is realistic fiction, touching on a lot of subjects that young girls can relate to. This book didn't disappoint at all. I really felt for Mallory and everything that happened. She tried to keep a happy face even though it was tearing her up inside. Things would go wrong, no matter how hard she tried. Her best plans fizzled. Eventually, her whole world imploded. Children reading it will think of a time that they felt the same way, or they will eventually feel the same way themselves. Maybe in that case, they will think back on this book and think about what they can do to turn their situation around. Sometimes you just have to own up to what you did wrong, admit to your feelings, and wait for things to blow over. Thankfully, most of the time that is all it takes to have life go back to normal.
I really liked this addition to the series, and I am sure every fan of the series will enjoy it as well.
