It's not just families that are affected by divorce; it's friendships, too. Jill and Carrie have been best friends for as long as they can remember. Their dads were roommates in college; their moms run a business together, and they've collected dolls, played make-believe, and shared every secret.
Then Jill's father suddenly wants a divorce, and both families are devastated. What Carrie doesn't anticipate, though, is how this news changes her relationship with Jill. She begins to realize that not even the most imaginative make-believes can restore their friendship to what it used to be. And it's not until after a scene in the school gym, a smashed cherry pie, and some honest talking before the girls--tentatively--reconcile.
With humor and insight, Susan Beth Pfeffer explores how hard it can be on a friendship when parents divorce.
