Here are the stories of friendship by and for teen girls. Teens from all walks of life tell how they met their friends and what attracted them about the other girls. This is a celebration of what young women mean to each other, what they expect from their friendships and what they contribute to those friendships.

Girls talk about the things they have in common with their girlfriends and the differences between them. There are lots of "top 5" lists taken from the interviews of many girls: The top 5 ways we meet our friends; Top 5 list of what not to say to a potential friend; 5 things to do to get a conversation going with a potential friend; 5 signs of a soon to be ex-friend, and many others.

This book is full of cool ideas for making and keeping friends and how to be a best friend, thoughts on cementing the bonds between you and your pals, and how to handle the breakups that are too often a part of friendships.

DeVillers has filled this book with interesting and exciting anecdotes that are wise, witty, and lots of fun. There are many ideas that girls can relate to, and ideas and thoughts on friendship that everyone can use.
