Blev helt knockad av denna boken. Kan inte sluta att tänka på Nina, Adriene och Etienne. De träffas som 10-åringar 1986, då de börjar i samma klass. De blir oskiljaktiga och gör allt tillsammans. När vi möter dem 2017 umgås de inte längre, varför? Deras liv nystas upp successivt. Välskrivet och trovärdiga personporträtt. Det bästa jag läst på mycket länge. Avundas er som har den kvar.
