SORRY NOT SORRY

“ Not every battle is yours to fight, baby girl. But when conviction burns so hot it heats your seat and you hop out the chair swingin', then you've found your callin'.”

Janelle and Alyssa used to be BFFs -- but not anymore. Alyssa became leader of the shallowest girls in school while Janelle got involved in activism with new, true friends.

But, suddenly, Alyssa's diabetes becomes the talk of the school. It's turned life-threatening; without a kidney transplant, her chances are not good. Despite reservations, Janelle gets tested and finds that she's a rare, perfect match with Alyssa for a transplant. But organ donations aren't very common in her community, and she starts to feel pushback. When feuds and accusations push the girls further apart, Janelle doesn't know what to do. Will the match bring the girls back together, or drive them apart for good?

At once poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, with stellar dialogue and a fast-paced narrative, this story reminds us of the beautiful but complicated nature of true friendships.
