Review Detail

THE PAGES BETWEEN US is a cute story about two girls in middle school who are experiencing innocent crushes, true friendship, and the heat fitting in. Typical Middle School problems.

The story follows Olivia and Piper who are best friends until the end of time. They're already planning their double wedding. In elementary school, they had many classes together, but now that they're in middle school, they only have one. French class. So, Piper came up with the perfect idea that they could converse through a notebook. They write a note in the book and then pass back and forth whenever they can.

Even though they're best friends, they're both different and enjoy different things. Olivia loves chess, always talks about her crush Jackson, and is nervous around anyone that's not Piper. Piper isn't scared to talk to anyone, has no interest in boys, and loves soap operas. When they start going to clubs to get Olivia to open up and to find people to invite to Piper's party, they start to see how different there interests truly are.


Final Verdict: I really enjoyed this read and finished it in a day. This story is perfect for those children aged 9-13. It'll teach them what true friendship is and to embrace that friendship along with family.
