How I Lost You by Janet Gurtler
2.0
THIS WAS NOT AT ALL WHAT I WANTED.
this was not a bad book. and in fact, it started off really promising. best girl friends who beat boys at paint ball! that's so cool! then it all goes downhill. the problem is that the end message of the book makes me REALLY MAD. is Kya the best behaved friend ever? no. but I'm MAD that. OH, AND the parallel to Grace's struggle with whether to stay friends with Kya is a guy going "I know that feeling, I lost a friend because I beat him up because he was a pedophile." ugh ugh ugh.
I want more ya novels about sisters before misters that stays that way.

SHE COMES OFF AS THE BAD PERSON and the "nice" guy who hates Kya because they slept together and whose attitude is basically "GOD being raped and re-living the trauma doesn't excuse turning into a drunken slut" is the good guy in the end who is allowed to stay friends with GraceI want more ya novels about sisters before misters that stays that way.
