When We Were Them

When they were fifteen, Willa, Luz, and Britton’s friendship was everything. When they were sixteen, they stood by each other no matter what. When they were seventeen, they went through the worst. And when they were eighteen, Willa ruined it all.

Now, it’s the week of graduation, and Willa is left with only a memory box filled with symbols of the friendship she destroyed: A book of pranks. Corsages from a nightmarish homecoming. A greasy pizza menu. Greeting cards with words that mean the world… It’s enough to make Willa wonder how anything could tear her, Luz, and Britton apart.

But as Willa revisits the moments when she and her friends leaned on each other, she can’t avoid the moments they leaned so hard their friendship began to crack. As Willa tries to find a way back to Luz and Britton, she must confront the why of her betrayal, and answer a question she never saw coming: Who is she without them? From bestselling author Laura Taylor Namey comes an exquisitely crafted, heartrending novel about friendship and the bittersweetness of growing up and growing apart.

Description

"As readers gradually piece together the book’s central relationships, Willa begins to understand the grief, fear, and insecurity that motivated her actions, and finds the courage within herself to rebuild broken connections. Female relationships take center stage in Namey’s (A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow) narrative about growing up, growing together, and, sometimes, growing apart, which will especially resonate with readers facing high school’s end." — Publishers Weekly
