About the Book

With the promise of nothing but fun in the sun, Zinnia, Fay, Kiara, and Valentina are all geared up to reconnect on their 10th annual girls' trip that brings them together from all different cities. What they don't know, however, is that some baggage comes on vacation whether you pack it or not. Their outside lives slowly seep into their seaside getaway, and when the weekend proves to be a series of secrets, snide remarks, and non-stop bickering, tensions escalate. Suddenly they are all forced to wonder: Have they outgrown their childhood friendships? Shedding light on the power and complications of lifelong friendships, This Is Why I Need You questions the choices we make in life that can bring us closer together - or pull us further apart - from people we need most: our friends.

Review :
"Alecsandra Kakon writes about female friendship with a sweet clarity that is bound to resonate with so many, including myself. I cried, I laughed, I reflected on my own relationships -- all while rooting for the love tying these four flawed yet lovable characters together. An endearing, sparkling, sexy book that redefines what relationships we prioritize. It will make you want to pick up the phone and reach out to your friends." -- Mai Nguyen, author of Sunshine Nails "An intimate portrait of female friendship in all its messy, complex, beautiful glory, This Is Why I Need You is an unforgettable story full of humor and heart. Alecsandra Kakon writes with uncanny empathy and insight and has created characters who will feel like your best friends by the end of the book. This Is Why I Need You is a remarkable debut, and Kakon is a writer to watch." -- Amy Jones, author of We're All in This Together and Pebble & Dove "I can't wait until This Is Why I Need You becomes the next great Canadian love story." -- Anne T. Donahue, author of Nobody Cares "The perfect blend of romance and women's fiction, This Is Why I Need You is a heartwarming examination of friendship and forgiveness that's filled with the kind of multilayered characters that feel like your own lifelong best friends, the kind who remind you that you're worthy of being loved even when you're at your messiest." -- Bianca Marais, USA TODAY bestselling author and cohost on The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
