Spotlight On Terra Elan McVoy and BEING FRIENDS WITH BOYS

From the first time I heard the title of this book, I knew I had to have it. You see I've always been friends with boys. I took one of my best male friends to prom. I was friends with my husband long before we became anything else. When Harry Met Sally is one of my all-time favorite movies. I've always loved even the idea of girls being friends with boys and so I naturally gravitated toward the subject in a book. And--wonderfully enough--Terra and I share an editor, who happened to send me a copy of this very pretty new book!

The thing with being friends with boys is that it's very risky! It may feel totally normal one moment, and cross over into something completely different in the next. Terra McVoy is a master of capturing those changes over and over and over again (with several different boys!) You will be on the edge of your seat wondering who Char is going to end up with. I know I was!

Here's a little more about the book...


From the author of Pure and The Summer of Firsts and Lasts, a friendship story with one girl, several boys, and lots of complications.Charlotte and Oliver have been friends forever. She knows that he, Abe, and Trip consider her to be one of the guys, and she likes it that way. She likes being the friend who keeps them all together. Likes offering a girl’s perspective on their love lives. Likes being the behind-the-scenes wordsmith who writes all the lyrics for the boys’ band. Char has a house full of stepsisters and a past full of backstabbing (female) ex–best friends, so for her, being friends with boys is refreshingly drama-free…until it isn’t anymore.
     When a new boy enters the scene and makes Char feel like, well, a total girl…and two of her other friends have a falling out that may or may not be related to one of them deciding he might want to be more than friends with Char…being friends with all these boys suddenly becomes a lot more complicated.

Love, love, love this book! If you'd like to get your own copy (which you totally should!) you can find it at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or at your favorite independent bookstore.
