Hey, girlfriend! Would you just die if your best friend moved away? Or what if that guy chatting you up in science class turns out to have a crush on your pal and not you? Are you fighting with a friend because she is constantly breaking plans with you to hang with her “cooler” buddies? Do you wish you could come up with more creative ways to spend time with your friends that don’t involve shopping, or watching television? Well, if you are like most girls, your friends are the most important people in the world and you can’t imagine life without them—even when they are working your last nerve. In The Girls’ Guide to Friends, relationship expert Julie Taylor gives you the inside scoop on creating real friendships that will last.

Filled with the wisdom of a cool big sister who truly understands your feelings, The Girls’ Guide to Friends offers advice on making the most of the time you spend with your friends, and how to deal with tough issues, too. With a quiz at the end of every chapter, The Girls’ Guide to Friends will help you realize your true friend potential with insightful questions like:
* Are you a friend magnet or a push-away pal?
* Do you resort to the silent treatment or go ballistic when a friend makes you mad?
