Top 5 Reasons to Read Friends Like These
- Written in 3 different P.O.V.s
If you enjoy multi-pov then you’ll find a new favorite book in “Friends Like These”. It is written in the P.O.Vs of our 3 main characters, which makes the story even more mysterious. - Amazing writing
The writing is fantastic. I enjoyed reading this book so much and just couldn’t get enough of it which leads us to the next reason: - Absolute Page-Turner
Does this really need a detailed explanation? I don’t think so! - Full of Twists and Turns
Every time you think you know the truth, another possibility is thrown your way. You can definitely trust no one in this book. - Great ending
Quotes
- The date will be perfect because we’ll be together, so I agree.
- He believes I’ll forget about him at college – as if I ever could – but I think he’s more afraid to lose a person he loves, […]
- […], and I’ve learned I can rely on him to be exactly who he is – my easily baffled and mostly disorganized boyfriend who tries harder than anyone else I know to do normal shit, but then crushes me with gestures so tiny and sweet that I wonder if I deserve him at all.
- As the rain showers the earth outside, the rest of the world disappears.

About the author
I received my B.A. in English from the University of California at Berkeley. Iโm fascinated by underdogs and power dynamics between groups of people.
Iโm the author of LIES LIKE WILDFIRE, a teen thriller soon-to-be published by Delacorte Press, and two middle grade book series, each published by HarperCollins Childrenโs Books, THE GUARDIAN HERD (a quartet) and RIDERS OF THE REALM (a trilogy). Before this, I self-published a middle grade fantasy called THE PET WASHER.
When Iโm not writing, youโll find me galloping my little black mare through the foothills of Sonoma County or teaching free creative writing workshops to kids and adults at various branches of our local library system.
The Healdsburg Literary Guild selected me as their 2019/2020 Literary Laureate for my work in building literacy in my community. It is an honor I hold dear. I am also the current SCBWI Sonoma County Coordinator and a volunteer on the Sonoma County Library Advisory Board.
โI live in Northern California with my husband, three children, and more than my fair share of pets!
