Publisher's summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner comes a heartfelt short story about a complicated friendship and a youthful betrayal that still has the power to shape two women’s lives.

Senatorial favorite Ida Berkowitz is headed for a win. Raised by a hardworking widowed mother, she’s authentic, relatable, and down-to-earth. Voters love her. Polls promise victory. Then her campaign manager utters four awful words: Who is Marissa Schuyler? She had almost managed to forget. Ida’s bunkmate at Camp Golden Hills when they were girls, Marissa was confident, sophisticated, and wealthy. Everything Ida wasn’t. Now the polished wife of a major conservative donor, Marissa’s announced a press conference. About Ida.

Just like that, Ida’s old insecurities come rushing in. So do new feelings of dread. After all these years, she knows what’s on Marissa’s mind. It could undermine everything Ida’s worked for. Because it isn’t very pretty.

Enjoyed this short story!

As a fan of happy endings, I loved it, although a little too much detail on the little things like making the bed, but overall I really enjoyed it

How people can surprise us.

It was a tender, sweet accounting of the trials and tribulations of being a teen girl.

Very sweet story

I love Jennifer Weiners writing. Always so sweet and relatable. This story shows how we all look at things differently and how we should be slower to judge
