My Worst Best Friend by Dyan Sheldon offers a warm, smart and very funny look at the friendship between two very different girls. Gracie and Savannah are best friends - despite being totally different. Savannah is beautiful, outrageous and irresistible to the opposite sex. Gracie is shy, smart and would rather be learning about lizards than meeting boys. Together they make a great if surprising team and it seems like nothing could come between them - but over a long summer Gracie begins to question Savannah’s reliance on lies and manipulation to get her own way and wonder whether her friend is quite as confident as she seems. When Gracie meets a boy she really likes, and Savannah comes between them, Gracie realizes that maybe it’s time she started thinking for herself.

The two friends may never be as close as they were but they’ve learned a great deal from each other. This is a witty and very funny story about friendship, keeping your own identity and moving on. £6.99 from Amazon

If you’re a Twilight fan - I’m Team Jacob btw - then you’ll LOVE Need by Carrie Jones.

Author Carrie has a way of creating kooky characters with strong voices that seem immediately familiar. Zara’s character is no exception, she’s been shipped off to Maine to stay with Grandma Betty in the middle of nowhere during a super-cold winter. According to her mother, Zara just hasn’t been herself since her step-father passed away, and all of this is apparently supposed to help.

Before Zara even has a chance to snap out of the depression, her attention is drawn elsewhere by a mystery surrounding a local boy’s disappearance. Oh, and then there’s the strange man who seems to be stalking Zara.

I LOVED it, I think you will too! £6.99
