Customer Reviews

What an awesome book!

Cathy is a wannabe... She wants to be cool, popular, beautiful, and liked by everyone. Is that possible? If only Jessica would be Cathy's best friend, Cathy's life would be perfect. Right? What if it means losing her oldest friends and changing who she is? This is a fun, easy-to-read book that never preaches but somehow gets its message across.

OUCH! Friendship hurts...

More than anything, Cathy wants to be best friends with sophisticated, worldly Jessica. She will change all her interests and hurt those who care about her for Jessica. But why isn't Jessica impressed and as eager to be friends with Cathy? Is the gamble worth it and is Jessica as wonderful as she seems? A great story about the pains and insecurities of adolescent friendships
