13 Books You Have To Read With Your Girl Best Friend

Our girl best friends are often our sisters from other mothers. They are not just our friends, they are the philosophers when we need dating advice, and our guides when we need help with anything from choosing a dress to navigating through PMS.

People say women are the worst enemies of other women, but I sincerely beg to differ. Few relationships are as strong as a female friendship, and female friendships that happened over and because of books are the most invincible bonds there are. So grab these 13 books, and delve into an epic journey with your girl BFF!

1. The Sisterhood of Travelling Pants by Ann Brashares

8. The End of Everything by Megan Abbott

When your best friend vanishes into thin air one day, it’s natural that people would expect you to have answers. The problem begins when you don’t have them, when you are just as clueless as others and when you don’t have anyone to ask questions. What do you do then?

 

9. She Matters by Susanna Sonnenberg

In our lives, we can never have one single friend; rather life is an intricate lace laced with the many friendships that we gain or lose on the way. This book is about the author’s journey as she navigated through the friendships in her life, and the contributions those friendships made. And you are gonna love it, trust me!

13. A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

Let me quote a part from the book to define Mariam and Laila’s friendship, “But the game involves only male names. Because, if it’s a girl, Laila has already named her”. The friendship between these two ill-fated women blossomed like a cherry tree in spring on the heart of a debris-filled Afganistan.

Enjoy your reading and strengthen that bond. 🙂
