yes!! i would love her as a close friend! val has only been in the area permanently for a little over a year, but her stepdad was born and raised in bar harbor, and after he and val's mom got married about eight years ago, they would always spend a few weeks out of the summer in bh! depending on how long your girl has lived there, i would love to say that they would spend time together when val was visiting in the summers, and then after val followed her mom and stepdad there it's just endless slumber party vibes?
