Bookroo's summary

Abby is thrilled to reunite with her best friend, Jessica, now Jessy, after years apart. But Jessy's new style and boyfriend reveal how much has changed. As Abby navigates her evolving friendship with Jessy, she also grapples with jealousy when her new friend Hannah grows closer to Casey, her boy friend. Can Abby balance old bonds with new dynamics, or will these changes pull them apart forever? Discover the twists in this heartfelt tale of friendship and self-discovery.

From the publisher

In the thirteenth book in this popular series, Abby and her best friend, Jessica, are reunited after a long time apart. They find that they have each changed, and so has their relationship.

When Abby’s best friend, Jessica, moved away, Abby was beside herself. But time has passed, and the gap Jessica’s absence left in Abby’s life has been filled by new friends, especially Hannah. Jessica’s done a lot of changing, too. She calls herself Jessy now, and instead of baggy overalls, she now wears hip teen clothes. She even has a boyfriend! Although things are different now, Abby and Jessy eventually find that they still have a strong bond.

Also in this book, Abby deals with feelings of jealousy as Hannah spends more and more time with Abby’s boy friend (not boyfriend!), Casey.
