Top Ten Books With Awesome Friendships in Them (53)

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

I love books with good friendships. I didn't always have the best time with friends when I was YA-aged, though. I think reading about them kind of makes up for it. Or gives me hope for the future. Or helps me reflect on my current friendships. I don't actually know. I just like friendship books (Although I also like when there's also a love-interest thing thrown in with all the friendship stuff. Delicious.)

PS: Please note - not all of the books featured below are book one in their respective series, but I decided to feature the book in the series that best shows the development of the friendship in question. So pay attention, okay?

1. THE BOOK THIEF by Markus Zusak

Liesel + Rudy. *criiiiiiiiesssss*

2. SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE by Morgan Matson

Emily holds on to Sloane unconditionally and Sloane challenges Emily like no one else. It's perfect.

3. FANGIRL by Rainbow Rowell

Cath and Reagan didn't seem like they'd be the perfect fit. But they so are and I love them.

4. THE RAVEN BOYS by Maggie Stiefvater (Book One)

Everyone in this book is perfection as friends. And as other things.

5. THROUGH THE EVER NIGHT by Veronica Rossi (Book Two)

Roar and Perry, Aria and Roar... it doesn't matter the combination, these are some kickass friendships.

6. ALSO KNOWN AS by Robin Benway (Book One)

Maggie and Roux are perfect. Serious meets silly, lonely meets lonely. So wonderful. 

7. UNRAVEL ME by Tahereh Mafi (Book Two)

We've all met Kenji, right? Because his friendship with Juliette = THE BEST.

8. THE VOW by Jessica Martinez

This book is just so sad, but Annie and Mo's friendship is so lovely, regardless.

9. PIVOT POINT by Kasie West (Book One)

Laila makes me mad for reasons in this book, but Addie's devotion to her and Laila underlying love for Addie is pretty fantastic. (And Laila's much better in Book Two.)

10. DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE by Laini Taylor (Book One)

I <3 Karou and Zuzana. (Please note, I've only read Book One so I have no idea how this friendship is going to end up but it's fantastic in Book One.)

Oh, and for a bonus friendship book...

11. OPEN ROAD SUMMER by Emery Lord

Dee and Reagan stick together always, no matter what. Love it forever.
