(More customer reviews)Caroline B. Cooney's Among Friends is about "The Awesome Threesome." Three girls, Jennie, Hillary, and Emily have been friends for life, until high school. There are also three other students that are involved in this bok, Ansley, Jared, and Paul. Jennie excels the others nd her two closest friends get jealous. Soon after "The Awesome Threesome" comes to an end.
I enjoyed reading this book because it is in the diary style. It describes problems between friends and family. This book kept me going and I felt I could not put it down. I recommend this book to anybody who likes to read diaries. Also, people who like reading about their peers would enjoy this book. Among Friends had a lot of turning points in the story. This book often got off the main subject, but it kept me going so I could find out what was going on.
Jennie alwas has to have everything perfect. If she's not perfect, then she wouldn't be the best, the way her parents want her to be. Then there is paul 'Classified', a major topic that the girls talk about. He's a new kid and won't let anybody know anything about him, so that's how he got his nickname 'Classified.' All of the students try to figure him out. The 'supercouple' is Ansley and Jared who have been dating for a long time. Hillary and Eimily are jealous of Jennie, but then realize that they really do need their friendship with her.
This is the first time I have read Caroline B. Cooney. I really enjoy what she does and the influences that she gives young people. For example, when Hillary, Emily, and Jennie go skiing they can feel the tension between themselves but Hillary and Emily put that aside and gives Jennie a chance. I give this book a 4 star rating, for its meaning about friendship. People should read this book if they are having problems with their friends. I am sure it will help me sometime with my friends. I will always remember what all of the girls went through in this time period. Friendship to me means a lot and that is why I like this book so much. I do not think a person could go through life without having friends.
