Bestselling author Jennifer Weiner's dazzling new novel, Best Friends Forever explores the impact of love, desire and familial loss on a friendship between two young women, and how the choices they make will change their lives forever.
When Addie Downs opens her front door and discovers her long-lost childhood best friend standing there, with terror on her face and blood on her coat, she finds herself on an extraordinary adventure on which she'll learn the truth about her past and forever change her future...
Addie Downs and Valerie Adler were eight when they first met and decided to be best friends forever. But being a teenager is hard enough without having to maintain childish promises friends make to each other when they're young, especially when life is steering them in different directions.
Val went on to the life of fame and fortune she's always dreamed of while Addie stayed behind in their small Midwestern town, forging a quiet life for herself. But sometimes, the bonds made in childhood hold a tighter reign on our destinies than we know and when, 25 years later Val shows yup at Addie's house with a secret they only a childhood friend can bare, the two women embark on a road trip they'll never forget.
