'Kate thought about how she and Marylin had practically spent their whole lives together. How could you be best friends with someone forever and then stop talking to them?' Kate and Marylin have never needed words to communicate what they are thinking - they get along so well. But lately Marylin has started to think that Kate can be a bit babyish, while Kate doesn't understand why Marylin has become obsessed with cheerleading and painting her toenails...A lot of the time, well, it feels as though they just don't know each other any more. Secretly they both wish things could be like they used to be - but who's going to make the first move? The bitter-sweet progress of a friendship, told from alternate viewpoints, by the award-winning author of Dovey Coe.

From the Inside Flap:
Kate and Marylin have always been the kind of best friends who don't need words to talk to one another; they always just knew what the other was thinking. But lately it's starting to feel as though they don't know each other at all anymore. Marylin decides Kate (who still chases fireflies!) still acts like a baby, while Kate doesn't understand Marylin's new obsession with painting her toenails or wanting to be a cheerleader (and becoming on eof those people who only thinks about her hair!). And even though, secretly, they both wish things could be the way they were, neither one of them know how to get back there.
