But when one of their crushes becomes something more, Amanda and Sophie must reconsider the life they've begun to build and how far they're willing to go to keep it.
In this brilliantly funny novel, Leslie Cohen asks: must friendship always be second to love This is female friendship at its finest. Smart. Witty. And no holds barred.
