Jamila Phillips is so done with secrets.
So done with Pirates Cove.
So done with everyone calling her Bean.
So done with living across the street from her so-called best friend.

Metai Johnson is so done with summer.
So done with ballet.
So done with her useless father.
So done with her supposed best friend, who answered exactly zero texts all summer.

But how do you take a break from being somebody’s best friend Especially when you’re in the same middle school and auditioning for the same talented-and-gifted dance program. Especially when you can’t stop thinking about what happened that day at the end of seventh grade—can’t stop thinking about that secret you’ve never told.

What happens when you’re done with your so-called life, but it’s not done with you

Industry Reviews

"A beautifully written and achingly realistic portrayal of the growing pains even the best friendships often must endure. Tai and Mila's journey felt as real and messy and ultimately hopeful as all true friendships are."--- Jo Knowles, award-winning author of See You At Harry's, Still A work In Progress and the forthcoming Where the Heart Is (2019)
"Chase vividly conjures the triumphs, tensions, and worries percolating in the girls' low-income neighborhood. Tai's exuberance forms an effective foil to Mila's internal turmoil, and the building anticipation about who will be chosen for the program and whether Mila will divulge her secret will keep readers turning pages."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Themes of friendship, trust, loyalty, and family are examined with a sharp eye... Characterization is nuanced and skillfully layered...A pitch-perfect look at changing adolescent relationships and resilience."--School Library Journal (starred review)
