Remember leaving the eighth grade, and going into high school how easy it was? Yeah, I didn't think so. The transition into the role of a more mature student doesn't come quickly, especially when your friends aren't always there to help you along the way. "3 Willows" by Ann Brashares, explores the relationship between three girls (Ama, Polly, and Jo) trying to overcome their differences and become friends again.
Jo discovers that being popular comes with a very large bill. She makes fun of her best friend Polly, doesn't speak with Ama, and she disconnects the relationship with her father. But what for? She gets fired from her job, her "boyfriend" leaves her, and her parents are splitting up now. What Jo doesn't see is the path of destruction she caused. Being respected and cared about is worth more than popularity on any scale.
