The 2024 #SomethingBookishReadingChallenge - hosted by lipglossmaffia

A Book That Centers Friendship
 They say a good book is a good friend, but even better is reading a book about best friends. Friends can lift us when we’re down, push us to be better than we thought we could, and shape our lives in a myriad of ways. Or they can f*ck your life up!
