Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Book Characters I'd Love To Be Besties With, but I thought I'd turn it around and list books which portrayed friendship and besties in a lovely way.
"The Secrets Of Paper And Ink" by Lindsay HarrelGinny and Sophia open the story in vulnerable places, and the friendship they forge will change both their lives.
"Now and Then and Always" by Melissa TaggMara, Jenessa, Lucas, Sam, and Marshall are pretty much #friendshipgoals. They didn't wait to find community, they formed community.
"Anne of Green Gables" by Lucy Maud MontgomeryAnne and Diana—you had to know this one was coming, right? One could hardly make a list of literary BFFs without them!
