True Colors by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Landry dreams of being someone that lives an interesting life. A life where people stop you to ask about it, admire it, and are even a little jealous of it. When she gets chosen to advance in a modeling opportunity and her two best friends don’t, she starts to see that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. In fact, sometimes it is a very lonely place to be. Her “friends” drop her, and Landry is left to find new friends. As she begins to make a new friend group, and finally feel like she’s on even ground again, her old friends pretend like nothing ever happened! Stuck in the middle of two sets of friends, Landry finds who herself really questioning what a good friend really is. Can she reconcile with her two best friends and not alienate her new friends? Or will she have to choose between them?

This is my first time reading this author and I have to say, I was pretty impressed! I think they did an excellent job of tapping into a fourteen-year-old girl’s mind! I was kind of blown away by how many feelings it brought up from my own past middle school friendships. I felt like all the teenagers and their parents were depicted in a down to earth, very relatable way. It was easy to see the story playing out in my mind while I read this. lf I had a younger daughter that was preparing for eighth grade/freshman year of high school, I would have her read this!
