My Best Friend is a Goddess is a sincerely sweet and seriously smart story with a lot of heart!

-- Danielle Binks - YA author and reviewer

Sixteen-year-old Emily and Adriana have been besties since Year One. Way back when Adriana had a gap between her teeth and was super skinny. Emily wasn't any less awkward looking, and ever since they've stuck together on the social sidelines.

But when Adriana returns during Year 10, after having spent eighteen months overseas, she has gone from awkward to AMAZING. As in utter goddess.

Thankfully, Adriana is no different on the inside. She's still the same best friend Emily knows and loves. But Emily just wishes that one guy, any guy, would want to get to know her for a reason other than being Adriana's best friend.

Cue Theo ...

Two best friends crushing on one very cute guy ... someone's going to get their heart broken.

More Praise for My Best Friend is a Goddess

My Best Friend is a Goddess is a sincerely sweet and seriously smart story with a lot of heart! It's a wonderful book for young girls in particular; a reminder that they are more than the sum of their parts, and encouraging them to celebrate their complexities by rejecting the labels that other people want to put on them and their bodies. -- Danielle Binks - YA author and reviewer

'Scary-relatable ... like seriously, has a piece of fiction ever hit this close to home? Author Tara Eglington just knows about girl stuff. And bestie stuff. And boy stuff. Grab a comfy spot (preferably right beside the pool) and get stuck in ...' -- Girlfriend Magazine

'Tara Eglington perfectly captures the intensity, humour and heartache of female friendship' -- Lili Wilkinson, bestselling author of Green Valentine

'Tara weaves the joy and angst of teenage friendship into an addictive read' -- Saray Ayoub, acclaimed author of Hate Is Such a Strong Word and The Yearbook Committee

About the Author

Tara Eglington grew up in Byron Bay, NSW surrounded by crystals, chakras and sound-based healing. Tara's only option for teen rebellion was to complete a non-arts degree and move to Sydney for a β€˜normal' career, but she ended up in a creative industry anyway. Tara is the author of four YA novels: How to Keep a Boy from Kissing You, How to Convince a Boy to Kiss You,Β My Best Friend is a Goddess and The Long-Distance Playlist. Her hobbies when she's not writing include watching endless cat videos on YouTube, planning pretend holidays to the Maldives, and daydreaming about who would play Hayden Paris in the film adaption of How to Keep a Boy from Kissing You.Β  taraeglington.comΒ  facebook.com/taraeglington twitter.com/taraeglington (Author photograph by Ted Sealey/Southern Cross University)
