the Myth of You & Me by Leah Stewart

This is about best friends and how things can fall apart.  One moment everything is perfect with the world and the next moment you are tossed into a whirlwind that you are not sure how to get out of.  Cameron runs out on her best friend Sonia after Sonia tells her something that shatters her world.  It seems where the book picks up that all Cameron has done is run.  A major event in Sonia's life looks like it is going to bring them back together.  Throughout the book you learn of what happened and back story for each of the girls and how things shaped their lives.  Stewart did a great job showing the raw feelings that teenagers and young women have and how deep hurt can go.  Many times in our lives we look back and go over things that happened to us and sometimes we can see how they have shaped us and wonder what we could have done differently and how we could change it now.  Everything had a nice flow and as difficult as some of the subject matter was it was a very enjoyable read.
