" Last Year With Maddy is a raw, honest and heartfelt book about the power of friendship and forgiveness. Aviva's voice is pitch-perfect as she comes to terms with what happened in the last year between her and her best friend, Maddy. Both girls navigate difficult moments in their lives, and neither are perfect in how they try to support one another. But it's in their imperfections that the reader recognizes their humanity, and their love for each other. This book is full of heart and hope." -- Sidura Ludwig, award-winning author of Swan: The Girl Who Grew "Rosner has produced a layered and nuanced narrative in Last Year with Maddy with the musicality of an orchestral symphony. Readers will experience piercing high notes and resonant lows, not just from Aviva's story but from each character as they perform in sometimes sad, angry, joyful, but always hopeful concert." -- Paul Coccia, award-winning author of Recommended Reading "At the heart of Last Year with Maddy are words--words of humour, of anger, of discovery, of connection.

A complex and moving story about friendship and sisterly love." -- Adam Sol, poet and author of How a Poem Moves: A Field Guide for Readers of Poetry.
