The book is told from Annabelle's perspective as she watches her best friend slowly slip away from her and become more and more involved in a "girls who like girls" club at their school. All of her emotions are so real, being jealous and angry and hurt and feeling abandoned, trying desperately to keep hold of someone you feel is slipping away, when everything you do ends up pushing them further from you.
Their relationship was real, and Annabelle's personality and feelings were so real that by the ending, which is going exactly where you think it's going, I was pretty much singing with joy and how happy and wonderful it was.
This is just a sweet, fun, adorable, well-written book that will take you about an hour to read. And you will like it. Go read it.

Complementary and Acute Kindle Edition
It’s Anabelle Horton’s senior year at Dearington Boarding School, and everything is exactly as she wants it. She’s captain of the Number Ninjas, her schedule is perfect, and her best friend Jacqueline Flores is going to be right by her side for all of it. But on the first day back at Dearington, Jac throws a wrench in Anabelle’s tidy plans. Not only has she rearranged her classes and dropped Number Ninjas, she’s joined the Girls who Like Girls Program, leaving Anabelle’s entire schedule in upheaval.
Jac is never around anymore, and when she is, she’s got new friends (who Anabelle hates) or she’s running off to a lecture on alternative footwear. Anabelle is left to deal with the changes on her own, and suddenly, Jac’s inability to keep their dorm room tidy is the very least of Anabelle’s problems.

It was decent nothing bad or to good about it other than how short it is and how her best friend is really one dimensional but it was still good for 0.99

So on the list of things that make me go "awwwwwwwww," this story definitely is up there. Just an utterly delightful, honest, and HAPPY F/F boarding school novella. Seriously, I was having a super crappy day, and reading this just made me smile like a loon!

I thought this book well written, short, but worth a lot more than 99¢. I am going to follow this author and see what else she publishes.

*4.5 stars*
A super-sweet and adorable f/f YA romance novelette! Sweet, smart, earnest and uptight Annabelle has been best friends and roommates at boarding school with Jac for the last 7 years, but when Jac suddenly announces that she's quitting the math team they were supposed to co-captain this year - because she's coming out as a lesbian and joining an LGBT network instead - Annabelle comes unravelled...for completely different reasons than she'd ever let herself imagine. Funny, fun, smart and sigh-worthy at the end!
(I wished we were more in Annabelle's head in the first scene, which is why this story is 4.5 instead of 5 stars for me, personally - but the rest of the story was just FABULOUS, and the first scene was fun, too - I just wished I felt more connection to Annabelle within it.)

sweet read about two roommates at boarding school
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 2, 2016
This is a cute, sweet read about two roommates at boarding school. Main character Anabelle is planning ahead for senior year and thinks she's prepared for everything, especially with best friend Jac besides her. But when Jac comes out to her, and says she's dropped math, Annabel has to rethink her carefully laid plans. I really liked both Anabelle and Jac here, but I also appreciated that Ella Lyons develops other friendships as well as the main pair. I'm always looking for fun LGBT contemporary novels - I'd love to see a longer book, or more shorts, about this pair!
