“Amy Spalding spins a story of friendship, family, love, and longing as perfect and bittersweet as the last days of summer.”

In alternating first-person perspectives, James and Kat each tell their stories, and despite their flaws, both become deeply sympathetic characters throughthe course of their narratives. . . The nonlinear structure adds some suspense to what is otherwise a bittersweet and potent examination of friendship, its failings, and its worth.
