Top Ten Tuesday! Books about friendship!


Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. Today's topic is one near and dear to our hearts; FRIENDSHIP!

  1. Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivan  - Friendship, betrayal, we have all know, or at the very least heard of girls like these. in the end, the unlike friendship that blossomed between these three firls was a beautiful thing, even if flawed.
  2. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald - I always felt like Nick and Gatsby's relationship was, like everything else in Gatsby's life, a farce to get to Daisy. That is, until it became real. In a way Nick was obsessed with Gatsby. Who wouldn't be? The man was nothing short of intriguing. I would wan to be his friend. My heart broke for Mr.Carraway when Gatsby died. They ended up the best of friends and it was only Nick who knew the truth, yet still cared for him.
  3. Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin - Oh, Rachel. Oh, Darcy. How you two became friends is so beyond me, but I'm glad you did because you reminded me how "not" to treat my best friend.
  4. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell - I know what you're thinking: This is a romance. You're right, but it didn't start that way. One thing I liked about E&P was that Eleanor and Park didn't like each other from the get go. In fact, just the opposite. Their relationship built gradually, making them go from nothing to friends, to more, and in the end, weren't they still really friends? Take away all the touchy feely stuff and Park still loved her, he still wanted what was best for Eleanor, the way any true friend would.
  5. Coin Heist by Elisa Ludwig - I recently finished this book and while it was about four teenagers planning a heist to save their school, it was more than that. These four characters were all very different and they had to learn to trust one another. In a way, they were forced to form a friendship, one that would withstand time, so long as their secret was kept.

  6. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares - I don't think I've read a book more about friendship than this one. Four girls who are so close that they vow to share this magical pair of jeans while they are apart, hardcore friends. 
  7. Geoducks Are for Lovers by Daisy Prescott - This book showed what friendship that lasts looks like. Friends since college and through kids and divorce. This group of friends reunite after some time and a stroll down memory lane in the best way. And if two of them happen to hook up, so be it. 
  8. Choose Us by Caylie Marcoe - Guy and girl best friend parings are great especially when they end up falling for each other. Riley and Travis are no different and equally as cute.
  9. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead - You don't get a closer friendship than bringing back someone from the dead and sharing blood. Lissa and Rose are bound for friendship between life and death.
  10. Sweet Thing by Renee Carlino - Mia and Will didn't start off as friends and didn't always stay that way. But when they were on, they were great. And another couple that jump over that friendship barrier.
Also... It's Keira's birthday!!!








Until Next time!
