How did it go wrong? Who was at fault? Could it have been avoided? And most important: how do you move on? They’ve done everything together…until they stop.
While not unhealthily so, they were each other’s entire cosmos. Cleo and Layla have been friends since middle school. When You Were Everything unearths-in gutting, unflinching honesty-the reality of a breakdown in a friendship. Maybe they go quietly, or maybe they go with a lot of noise and harsh words. But we rarely think of what would happen if our best friend-with whom we have been more open, more vulnerable, and more ourself with than anyone else-were to slip out of our life. When we enter a dating relationship, we acknowledge (perhaps unconsciously) the risk that things won’t work out, that maybe this won’t be forever. Instead, it’s the breakup of a close friendship that’s the most painful and longest felt. The worst breakup is never with your significant other.
