    About this ebook

    Kate and Jake have always been best friends; always, that is, until Jake's cousin, Lionel, moves nearby.

    Jake starts spending time with Lionel instead of Kate. Kate struggles with his abandonment and her own loneliness as she seeks new friends that share her likes and dislikes. And, perhaps there is a place in her life for her old best friend after all.
