Lou figures that she can get close to Nick by pretending to date her best female friend, Seeley, and Seeley agrees to the plan even though it really doesn't make any sense. The crew does become closer, however, as Lou enlists their help in plotting to prevent the park's closure.

I was first captivated by the stunning cover, but stayed because I love stories about groups of friends and the emotions and connections that bind them for better or worse. Deep in Providence showcases this beautifully through the lenses of Miliani, Inez, and Natalie, three girls whose lives are shattered when their friend Jasmine is killed by a drunk driver. The girls turn to Filipino spells and folklore in an attempt to bring Jasmine back from the dead. Desperation and yearning bleed through these pages, and by the end, I was sobbing. This book is a beautiful exploration of grief, told in the tenderest way. 041b061a72
