If You Only Knew

  • Rachel Vail


4 rings, 1 promise: Best Friends Forever

Growing up is never easy. But when things get tough, you can always count on your best friends. CJ, Olivia, Morgan and Zoe know one thing’s for sure: they’ll always have each other!

Zoe isn’t like her three best friends. She enjoys playing sports outside, doesn’t really care about clothes, and is a little self conscious of her body. So when her best friend Tommy admits he likes her, Zoe is caught off guard and tells him to ask CJ out instead. But then she starts having doubts about her decision. Can she share her true feelings without risking her friendships?

Praise for If You Only Knew

"Bravo to Vail for painting a true, intimate portrait of what life is like for a seventh grader: a heartbreaking and glorious rollercoaster ride."--Publishers Weekly

"Vail quite admirably captures the awkward and sometimes painful lessons girls learn on their way to adolescence."--Children's Literature

"The author excels in depicting adolescent preoccupations and confusions. The dialogue is funny and the rapidly changing friendships and fickle alliances are authentically portrayed . . . A light confection that will be gobbled up."--School Library Journal
