“Fresh and funny.” ―New York Times Book Review

Newbery Honor author Shannon Hale and New York Times bestselling illustrator LeUyen Pham join forces in this graphic memoir about how hard it is to find your real friends―and why it's worth the journey.

When best friends are not forever . . .

Shannon and Adrienne have been best friends ever since they were little. But one day, Adrienne starts hanging out with Jen, the most popular girl in class and the leader of a circle of friends called The Group. Everyone in The Group wants to be Jen's #1, and some girls would do anything to stay on top . . . even if it means bullying others.

Now every day is like a roller coaster for Shannon. Will she and Adrienne stay friends? Can she stand up for herself? And is she in The Group―or out?

SAY CHEESE! SAY CHEESE!

I like this book, it's good, and I think it should get four stars. I like that Shannon can stand up for herself. This one was cute. I liked the sequel, Best Friends, but I found it a little strange because of all the pressure put on her. Anyway, this is a good read

Soooo good! But it almost makes me cry every time I read it. It really tells her story about how she made friends even though it can be super sad, its still a great book to read especially if you're going through hard times yourself.

This is a nice short book that really pulls you in emotionally, most people can probably relate to some of the situations in this book, which makes it very comforting!

I love this book i have read it like so many times, it relates to everybody in my opinion!

This is SUCH a good book!!! It really shows some struggles with things like social anxiety, fake friends, and public situations. This relates to me and a lot of other people. PLEASE READ THIS!!!!!!

This book speaks to anyone who has lost a group of friends or been bullied. I for one fit in that category. When you have a group a friends that you trust and that you tell secrets to and then they turn your back to you. ITS HEART RETCHING! Many people have had this happen to them. This book speaks to those people and shows you how to realize who your real friends are. I LOVE this book so much.

I really like this book because, Shannon and I have a lot in common. 1. We both have glasses 2. We're both shy sometimes I also think this book is interesting this book, because it is a little sad that she is left out.
