FRIENDS LIKE THESE
ROSOFF, MEG
'This summer's must read' - The TimesâAn irresistible account of female friendship ⦠Nobody describes the strength, pain and comedy of being young as elegantly and eloquently as Meg Rosoffâ â Amanda Craig âA wonderful, captivating writerâ â Daily Telegraph__________________ From the incomparable Meg Rosoff, bestselling author of How I Live Now and The Great Godden, comes an alluring coming-of-age tale about the summer that changes everything. New York City. June, 1982.
When eighteen-year-old Beth arrives in Manhattan for a prestigious journalism internship, everything feels brand new â and not always in a good way. A cockroach-infested sublet and a disaffected roommate are the least of her worries, and she soon finds herself caught up with her fellow interns â preppy Oliver, ruthless Dan and ridiculously cool, beautiful, wild Edie. Soon, Beth and Edie are best friends â the sort of heady, all-consuming best-friendship thatâs impossible to resist.
But with the mercury rising and deceit mounting up, betrayal lies just around the corner. Who needs enemies ⦠when you have friends like these? From bestselling, award-winning author Meg Rosoff comes a gritty, intoxicating novel about a summer of unforgettable firsts: of independence, lies, love and the inevitable loss of innocence. Sharp and irresistible, it's perfect for fans of Sally Rooneyâs Conversations with Friends and Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan.
