Book two in the Best Mates Forever series

Sophie presents me with her Being A Better Person list:

1. Give to others.
   ‘Give what?’ I ask?
   ‘Oh stuff,’ answers Sophie,
   ‘You know – advice, things, a shoulder to cry on, a shoulder to laugh on – just be GIVING.’
2. Do or say something nice every day.
3. Do not shout at/argue with parents, siblings, or teachers.
4. Give up boys.
5. Give up chocolate. Eat a healthy diet.

Give up boys and chocolate? Tash is appalled, but Sophie is determined. And then, just at that moment, Tash receives a text from Rob saying that Luke fancies Sophie. Sophie is ecstatic, briefly forgetting all about Number Four of their new resolutions. The girls decide that they can be ‘friends’ with boys without being ‘involved’.

Leading a virtuous life is not only more difficult than they think, it can also presents more problems. Loyalty can be a virtue but turned another way it could be a vice…Find out the whole story as told from both their points of view!

‘Adroitly written teenage fiction that many kids will find very easy to identify with.’
