Bookroo's summary

In eighth grade, Shannon faces a whirlwind of changes and self-doubt. As classmates pair up, she feels left out and struggles with undiagnosed depression. Torn between others' expectations and her own desires, Shannon must navigate the complexities of adolescence. Will she discover who she truly wants to be, or remain trapped by her insecurities? This heartfelt journey explores the courage to embrace oneself amidst life's chaos.

From the publisher

Following up their mega-bestselling Real Friends and Best Friends graphic memoirs, Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham are back with Friends Forever, a story about learning to love yourself exactly as you are. Shannon is in eighth grade, and life is more complicated than ever. Everything keeps changing, her classmates are starting to date each other (but nobody wants to date her!), and no matter how hard she tries, Shannon can never seem to just be happy. As she works through her insecurities and undiagnosed depression, she worries about disappointing all the people who care about her. Is something wrong with her? Can she be the person everyone expects her to be? And who does she actually want to be? With their signature humor, warmth, and insight, Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham have crafted another incredible love letter to their younger selves and to readers everywhere, a reminder to us all that we are enough.
