About the Book: Best friends Mindy, Gabby, and Priya are thriving with their booming after‑school dog‑walking business, PAWS—until things at home start feeling just as unpredictable as walking a bunch of energetic pups. Mindy’s world shifts when her mom begins dating someone new, and she starts feeling like the odd one out. But change isn’t limited to home—when Hazel arrives at school and wants in on PAWS, Mindy’s fears about sharing her friends and her business bubble over. Can she pull back from being stubborn long enough to heal rifts, embrace new relationships, and learn that growing up (and changing) doesn’t have to mean losing what matters most?
