Why read it?
1 author picked Before We Were Innocent as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The past and the present constantly play against each other in this story about three adolescent best friends–only two of whom survive adulthood. I love Berman’s extremely honest portrayal of teenage girls who are as desperate to fit in as they are to stand out.
