Eden Jones has exactly three friends. And they're all fake.
From a web of lies and anxiety to true friendship and queer joy; this is the wonderful second book from the author of the Indies Introduce and Indie Next List pick, Jude Saves the World.
Why go through the stress of making friends when you can just pretend? It works for Eden and their social anxiety . . . until their mom announces sheâs throwing them a birthday party and all their friends are invited.
Edenâs âfriends,â Duke, Ramona, and Tabitha, are all real kids from school . . . but Edenâs never actually spoken to them before. Now Eden will do whatever it takes to convince them to be their friends â at least until the party is over.
When things start to go better than Eden expects and the group starts to bond, Eden finds themself trapped in a lie that gets worse the longer they keep it up. What happens if their now sort-of-real friends discover that Eden hasnât been honest with them from the very beginning?
Author Ronnie Riley creates a world full of queer joy and all the ups and downs of true friendship. This book is perfect for fans of Guts or Forget Me Not.
