She'd always known them as Nellaya. They'd always been inseparable as sisters no matter the circumstances. No matter what happened, they were always sisters, watching each other's backs.Now, Nell is in high school and instead of dreading being Layla Golden's sister, she looks forward to letting everyone know that they are. N. Golden and L. Golden....there's nothing more special, beautiful, smart, or driven.While both sisters are close, Nell does have a separate life filled with her best friend, Felix. When Layla isn't available, Felix is there, donut in hand, to take Nell through those rough spots. Nell has hit her sweet spot in life. And then....Slowly but surely, something begins to draw Layla away from Nell. It's when Layla reveals the secret that she's hidden for so long to Nell that will either turn the tide for or against the sisters.Reinhardt writes a beautiful story about relationships on all levels. From sisters to parents; from friends to enemies, all of these intertwine to create a story with multiple levels but one very meaningful theme, that of family and love. I devoured this book - it's that good!Full review here: https://naomibates.blogspot.com/2014/05/we-are-goldens-by-dana-reinhardt.html
