Second Best Friend

Description

Jade and Becky have always been best friends; inseparable and often indistinguishable. But when a spiteful comment from a awful ex pushes Jade to the edge, she begins to see that she has always been second best in everything. When the school election offers her the chance to finally be number one, Jade learns just how far she is willing to go to be better than her closest friend.

Non Pratt worked as an editor and publisher before her first novel, Trouble, shot her to fame as a YA novelist in her own right. She lives in London with her husband and young daughter and is a regular visitor to schools and festivals across the UK.

"This short and sweet rumination on friendship, ambition, and jealousy is an absolute must read ... Fans of Mean Girls and Holly Bourne will feel right at home in this novella" -- Buzzfeed "I read SECOND BEST FRIEND by Non Pratt all in one gulp. As always, Non is a genius at nailing a compelling and authentic YA voice" -- Katherine Webber "Short but packs such an emotional punch. I love that the denouement revolves around a PowerPoint presentation - absolutely iconic" -- Lauren James "An electric coming-of-age story ... perfectly told" -- BookTrust "Sharp and funny and, most importantly, very real" -- INIS
