Claire: Rikki's Book About Friendship And Love

Improved Essays
CLAIRE is a very enjoyable fast read about friendship and love. It is the second book of Hart University, sophomore year. Claire is Rikki’s best friend, who is from the first book. I really really loved Rikki and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Claire. Even though Claire’s story doesn’t surpass the love I have for Rikki’s story, I still enjoyed it nonetheless. I really do enjoy Ms Abigail clean writing, she always pulls me in her innocent stories. The love that each character have for each other is so addicting to read.

This story is very much about friendship and the bond that Claire forms with Will. Will and Claire have always had feelings for each other, but it never seemed to be the right time for either one of them. While Will ends
