Seventh grade is supposed to be a game changer. And Keiko thinks she's got it covered, especially with Audrey and Jenna by her side to shop for a new look, pick out a prime lunch spot, and even hit up that cute new bubble tea place after school. Her trio is ready to tackle life as they always have... together.But when Audrey decides they need boyfriends before Fall Ball, it looks like things may be changing in all the wrong ways. Jenna is sick of caving in to Audrey's demands, and soon Keiko's besties are barely talking, leaving her caught in the middle. While she's been dreaming about triple-dates, first kisses, and a boy she really shouldn't have a crush on, the friendship she's always thought was rock-solid is beginning to crumble.Keiko feels pulled in two directions. Should she try to help her friends -- even if it means losing one of them -- or follow her heart? When it comes to flirting, friendships, and fallouts, how is Keiko supposed to keep it all together?

Ratings and reviews

This book is super fantastic, but sadly I left it somewhere and now its gone, I would definitely recommend it for mostly grade six, and what happens when you start high school. Infact I'm going to try and get it again, that's how good it was and I only got not even half way though the book, HIGLY RECOMMEND!!! :)

It's a really good boom and I hope for the next one to come out I really love it and encourage other kids to read it
