I highly recommend this book! A great coming of age story that keeps you guessing till the end. I was surpirsed on how developed the characters are and how much I couldn't stop thinking about this book once I finished it.

I enjoyed reading about these two and how secrets almost destroy their friendship and family.

Too much drugs and sex for one person, cascaded into a betrayal.

As an only child, Janet longs for a sister. In Kindergarten she meets Sophie, also an only child but very unlike herself. As is often the case, opposites attract. Janet and Sophie become inseparable.

Due to Sophies tragic home life and unavailable parents, she spends much of her childhood in Janets home. There they are dubbed The Bufflehead Sisters by Janets bird watching father. He teaches them about life and nature, while Janets mother is forced to take on the responsibility of Sophies morals and values, as well as Janets.

As the girls grow, they continue in opposite directions, though remaining as close as sisters. Janet tries to make healthy choices, while Sophie goes through one disastrous situation after another.

Finally reaching adulthood, Janet finds out things about Sophie, including secrets she long kept hidden from Janet. These secrets change everything Janet thought she knew about Sophie, their friendship, their sisterhood, and their lives both together and apart.

I was totally absorbed in this unique coming of age novel. At turns funny and heartbreaking, Bufflehead Sisters will touch you and affect you.
