Synopsis
Addie Downs and Valerie Adler were best friends until the swirling currents of adolescence swept them into different cliques. Fifteen years later, Valerie (a beautiful TV weather girl) and Addie (a plain Jane seeking love on the Internet) are leading very separate lives, but fate soon thrusts them together once again. When a hysterical Valerie shows up on Addie's doorstep with blood on her clothes, it marks the beginning of a hilarious set of adventures that will bring the two friends closer together as they try to keep their distance from the law.

Industry Reviews
"[T]he thing I enjoy most about Weiner's books is their familiarity -- how her characters' concerns, jokes, insecurities and even homes feel like real life, or at least the embarrassingly tame version lived by average middle-class moms like me."

"I'm not lending this book to anybody. It's a keeper....[W]hat sets BEST FRIENDS FOREVER apart from its predecessors and earns it a place on my treasured "reread as needed" shelf is its tough emotional wisdom. If there are any doubts that a work of mere 'chick lit' can be deeply revelatory, BEST FRIENDS FOREVER should banish them."

"The novel is a welcome addition to the author's collection of tales about strong, clever women who carve their own niche in this world -- much like Weiner has....Themes of [her] previous novels play into BEST FRIENDS FOREVER -- weight issues, unexpected news, even murder mysteries -- but the similarities aren't necessarily bad when the original material is so good."

"In [the flashback] sections, Weiner's writing shines, as she provides the emotional foundation of the book....Weiner has a deft touch in creating an endearing main character that readers want to follow."
