Paula Danziger's irrepressible humour bounces through this with such exhausting energy that you can hear her beads jangling. Amber is losing her best friend, Justin, because his dad has inconveniently got promotion. We go through the torment and the anguish she feels as the time draws near. It seems the only way Amber and Justin can cope is to have a fight. There's hope in the end though but, as with most things, it depends on the two of them co-operatin.
