A few of my favorite books about friendships

(I think this is the cutest picture of best friends! I got it off Pinterest but can't find the artist to give credit where credit is certainly due! If anyone knows...let me know.)

Do you have a best friend?

My BFF in high school was exactly who I needed at the time. She didn't let me get away with any crap, downheartedness, stupidity, or anything that might ruin my life. She made me laugh so hard that I literally spewed milk out. my. nose. On multiple occasions. I loved her!


I LOVE books that show a healthy BFF relationship. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE BFF BOOK?
I love to see the relationship strengthen and mature, too. Whenever there is a #bookstagram prompt on Instagram about best friends, there are a few books I think about.

Here is a list of my top favs:

Young Adult

JELLICOE ROAD by Melina Marchetta

First line:
"My father took one hundred and thirty-two minutes to die."



(Best opening line ever).

Three things I liked about this book:
1. Relationships
2. Jonah Griggs
3. Ending








SIX OF CROWS by Leigh Bardugo

Opening line:

"Joost had two problems: the moon and his mustache."






Don't you want to learn more about Joost??

Misfits and friendships are legit. 

Middle Grade

SKY JUMPERS by Peggy Eddleman

First line:

"You would think I'd never jumped off a cliff before, based on how long I stood there."

The kids from this town have to help each other save their families. 

#coverlove

STARGIRL by Jerry Spinelli

Opening line:
"When I was little, my uncle Pete had a necktie with porcupines painted on it."

The story is about a eclectic girl who helps the people around her just by being herself. 

 

Adult

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE by Fannie Flagg

Opening line:

"The Whistle Stop Cafe opened up last week, right next door to me at the post office, and owners Idgie Threadgoode and Ruth Jamison said business has been good ever since."

Best friends for life who not only take care of each other, they possibly kill for one another.

(There's also a cookbook!!)

ANNE OF GREEN GABLES by L.M. Montgomery

I'm not sure if this is YA or adult? But I love Anne and Diana's friendship, of how their 'kindred spirits' and really listen to each other.

Plus, all the other friendships throughout the book are awesome.

Series

HARRY POTTER Series by J.K. Rowling

I have to include these books on this list.

I lovelovelove the friendships that develop and deepen throughout all seven books.

THE HOBBIT AND THE LORD OF THE RINGS by J.R.R. Tolkien
