I have really loved all of the Emmie & Friends series, but this one wasn't my favorite. Half of the book is told from Sarah's point of view and half is told from Leo's point of view. It is a dual timeline but it was confusing to me at first because they are both telling the story based on how Sarah handles a certain situation. If she does Plan A, we have Sarah's storyline. If she does Plan B, we have Leo's. This was a little confusing for me at first but once I understood this set up, it was quite enjoyable. This book had many of the same themes as the rest of the series - fitting in, navigating middle school, crushes. But this one in particular focused on friendships. Sometimes when we get caught up in the new feelings in middle school - crushes, school dances - we forget who we had when it all started. And sometimes those are the people you need the most. This also talks about how friendships don't always have to come from the same place. Sometimes our best friends are not ones that we see every day or not ones we go to school with, but that doesn't make them less important.Overall, a good read and a great addition to the series. We also have a POC character in this book so that was awesome to see as well!
