Calling all Best Friends...









PAPERBACK PUBLICATION ON MAY 4TH, 2010

The #1 New York Times Bestseller
Best Friends Forever
By JENNIFER WEINER



Last summer Jennifer Weiner’s critically-acclaimed seventh book, Best Friends Forever, shot to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list… And this spring Weiner’s fans everywhere can enjoy the paperback edition hitting shelves on May 4th, 2010.

In Best Friends Forever, Jennifer Weiner introduces us to the unforgettable characters of Addie Downs and Valerie Adler, two girls who will remain best friends forever. That's what Addie believes after Valerie moves across the street when they're both nine years old. But in the wake of betrayal during their teenage years, Val is swept into the popular crowd, while mousy, sullen Addie becomes her school’s scapegoat, the butt of jokes and pranks.

Flash-forward fifteen years. Valerie Adler has found a measure of fame and fortune working as the weathergirl at the local TV station. Addie Downs lives alone in her parents’ house in their small hometown of La Prairie, Illinois, caring for a troubled brother and trying to meet Prince Charming on the internet. She’s just returned from Bad Date #6, when she opens her door to find her long-gone best friend standing there with a terrified look on her face and blood on the hem of her coat. "Something horrible has happened," Val tells Addie, "and you're the only one who can help."

And so begins the grand, funny, edge-of-your-seat adventure of Best Friends Forever. It is a story about betrayal and loyalty, family history and neighborhood secrets, about living through sorrow, finding love where you least expect it, and the ties that keep best friends together…forever.
