My Best Friend is a Goddess

Emily has been friends
with Adriana since Year One, way back when Adriana had a huge gap
between her teeth and was super skinny. Emily wasn't any less awkward
looking, and the girls are inseparable all through primary and into high
school.
But when Adriana's mother dies during the autumn of Year Eight, everything changes. Adriana's father accepts a job in Borneo and suddenly, the two best friends, who’ve always been together, are almost ten thousand miles apart. Despite the distance, and a rubbish internet connection, the girls manage to stay in touch for the next 18 months.
And then Adriana announces that she’s coming home.
Emily can’t wait for things to go back to how they were – except one thing is undeniably different from the moment Adriana’s plane touches down at Jefferson airport.
Adriana has gone from awkward to AMAZING. As in Victoria’s Secret model level of amazing – an utter goddess.
People stop her in the street to tell her she should model. Boys throw themselves at her everywhere she goes. The popular girls at school (aka The Tens), who made Adriana’s life hell once upon a time, are now following her on Insta and sending her pics on snapchat.
Thankfully, Adriana is no different on the inside. She's still the same best friend Emily knows and loves, and they're certainly not going to lose their friendship over the fact that Adriana has lucked out genetically.
Emily just wishes that one guy, any guy, would want to get to know her for some other reason besides being Adriana's best friend. In the meantime, she's committed to helping Adriana manage the throngs of potential suitors who are texting, emailing and adding Emily on Facebook in the hope of an introduction to 'the goddess', as Adriana is still pretty shy around boys and no-one's made her want to step out of her shell.
That is, until she sees the brand new and super cute guy in Emily's art class. The one called Theo, who makes Emily laugh so much she can barely focus on her own canvas. The only guy that Emily’s ever felt a real connection with – and the first one that doesn't seem all that affected by Adriana's appearance.
Two best friends crushing on one very cute guy ... someone's going to get their heart broken.
MY BEST FRIEND IS A GODDESS is about what happens to a friendship when two girls change - and not just on the outside.

My Review:
Tara Eglington is a new author to me (love finding new authors), she's definitely now on my author watch (stalk) list. ^_^
We
are taken back to high school and we got all the angst and suffering
that comes with it lol. Eglington definitely nailed that part, lol. I felt it showed real life issues with what girls are feeling and going through today in school. This brought out a lot of different emotions in me, I could relate in certain ways to both characters. It wasn't all fear and sadness, there were lots of laughter and fun moments too. ^_^
I loved how the two main characters shared their personal thoughts and diary entries, I found it helped me connect better with them, because I got to know them better. It also showed how different their thoughts were in different situations or even about themselves.
I felt the strong bond between Emily and Adriana, even through tough times their friendship availed. Though, sometimes life takes us in a different direction and things change, sometimes for the better and sometimes not, but you just never know how things are going to turn out.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and I definitely would recommend to go grab yourself a copy.
Merry Christmas!!
