Then a boy from the debate stage changes everything neither of them expected.What follows is a story of loyalty tested past its limits, love spoken by everyone except the two people who feel it most, and a friendship asked to carry a weight no friendship should have to bear. As duty, family expectation, and quiet longing collide, one girl will find her voice, and the other will discover just how long silence can be mistaken for peace.Friends & Fates is a tender, emotionally rich novel about the promises we keep for the people we love, and the ones we're finally brave enough to break for ourselves.One speaks; one remains silent.
