What an awesome follow-up to "Leaving Green Island"! This book had all the friends and families back in some way or another, yet focused primarily on Lizzy Sutter, Brecken and Nevada. I loved that these characters experienced some of the things that many of us have gone through. That makes the story so very relatable.Em Barrett's books feature well rounded characters with plenty of love, friendship and fun thrown in. Reading this story is like catching up with friends you haven't seen for a while and hearing what they've been up to. I loved Leaving Green Island and the short story "El Train Love Story" and if you haven't read them, I highly recommend them.While this book, "The Almosts", can stand alone, I'd read Leaving Green Island first if you haven't read it. Enjoy losing yourself for a while in this heartwarming story of long time friendship. You'll be glad you did.
