I was intrigued by the title, I mean, We Used to Be Friends is very on the nose, but it’s exactly what this book is about, and I loved it for that. I feel like people forget that books portray people within a moment and that sometimes, romances and friendships aren’t forever. We Used to Be Friends depicts the deterioration of a female friendship, not for any bad reasons but just because people grow away from each other sometimes.
I would have liked it a lot more if not for the fact that it jumps around the entire year a lot. I got confused a few times about what was going on with the characters when it skipped so far in the past and then back to the present and such.
That being said, I still think this is a good book. Kat was open about her sexuality and it was nice to see her proud. The parents felt realistic in this story and I like the way they were a part of this book. Even if I did need a little more character growth. All in all, a good story about friendship. And even if you grow apart, it doesn't make the friendship any less special while it lasted.
