The Friends

The Friends by Rosa Guy, 185 pages

“Phyllisia eventually recognizes that her own selfish pride rather than her mothers̓ death and her fathers̓ tyrannical behavior created the gulf between her and her best friend.” This book didn’t age terribly well or maybe I just didn’t relate to it very well.  I didn’t like any of the characters a lot and, although there were parts that I found engaging, mostly I was just glad that I was done.  I wouldn’t recommend it to this to most teens.
