About this Book

Print Excerpt

Nothing bad happened in our relationship—except for growing older. We ended up going to different junior high schools and eventually drifted apart. Since then I've had other wonderful friendships. But Paris taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: that your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.
