Some of us wait our whole lives for the perfect friend. Isabella Washington found hers early-the first day of school, when she was six years old, she met Aiden Cunningham on the bus. The two became inseparable, and now, twelve years later, Isabella and Aiden are still "Best Friends for Life," as they called their friendship years ago. But as young adults in a complex world that can be unforgiving and cruel, they are confronted with experiences that test the breadth and depth of their bond. Faced with the truth that sometimes, no matter how much you love someone, you can't help them-Aiden and Isabella learn to navigate the rough waters of growing up. Together, they find the courage in each other and in themselves, while enduring unexpected circumstances that will have life-altering consequences. Gritty, real, and inspirational, My Other Half is a brilliant window into the world of young adults in a chaotic world.
