This is a story about four teenage friends, told decades later to a teen named Louisa—someone they see themselves in. On the surface, it’s about a painting of the four of them. But really, it’s about friendship, grief, forgiveness, and how people shape each other over time. It’s deeply character-driven, and the relationship development is what makes it shine. There are highs and lows, but you get just as invested in the story of these four as Louisa does. At the end of the day, that’s what we all want: to be seen and known by those we love and that’s what this story is about.
I liked it even more than Anxious People, and it might be the push I needed to finally pick up A Man Called Ove.
