【一輩子的摯友,可能嗎?】
 
Willa、Luz和Britton三人從小就是朋友,只要一個眼神便能意會彼此的心思,不論好壞,三人都伴隨再彼此身邊。然而,三人18歲那年,Willa卻親手毀了這難能可貴的友情。
高中畢業典禮在即,Willa除了一個回憶寶盒外,身旁再無昔日好友。打開寶盒,映入眼簾的是Willa失去的友誼-惡作劇之書、超糟糕校慶上戴的手腕花、油膩膩的披薩菜單,和乘載三人真心話的一疊卡片…Willa不禁納悶,如此深厚的感情,如今怎會四分五裂?究竟是從哪裡開始出錯的呢?
Willa捨不得就這麼失去Luz和Britton,下定決心要重拾這段友情。不過,這也就意味著她必須直面過去背叛好友的自己。她為何背叛最親近的朋友?沒有Luz和Britton的Willa,又是誰?
除了描繪人與人之間細膩的情感,作者Laura Taylor Namey也藉由三個好友之間從親密到反目成仇,再到乘載裂縫繼續友誼的過程,討論了成長過程中的脆弱、原生家庭帶來的傷疤,和年少懵懂的秘密愛戀等多個青少年時期開始感知的人生議題。
 
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?
