The problem with friends is that they tend to sometimes let you down. Sometimes they even take advantage of you and they do it in the worst way possible. This is when you learn that the world is an evil place, one that sometimes you feel isn't even worth living in anymore. Other times you learn that your friends can be your biggest allies. They support you in every way possible even when you know they shouldn't. And then there are those friends who always turn into something more. They complete your heart and soul. Annabeth Chase was not your average young woman. She was ambitious and could most definitely take care of herself. It wasn't until an evening with a friend that changed her life. One for the better and one for the worse. Annabeth was about to have her world come crashing down around in her more ways than she could possibly imagine and she was going to have to learn to trust herself and her true friends if she was going to make it out alive.

"Being reunited with your childhood best friend after eight years apart? Sounds like a heart-warming story. Finding out that said best friend is now a complete jerk who's determined to make your life hell? Not so much." Georgie and Connor were once inseparable. Best friends from birth, they did everything together - well, that was until Connor's dad got a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity and the family was forced to relocate to New York. At age sixteen, Georgie's life is totally different - her main goal being to keep her head down and escape the brutalities of high school with as little emotional scarring as possible. Balancing school, work and her dwindling social life is enough of a challenge, but it's about to get a bit more complicated when her conceited ex-best friend gets thrown into the mix. Maybe friendship should come with an instruction booklet.
