Can you have more than one best friend?
Stephanie’s best friend is Rachel. Since second grade they’ve shared everything, good and bad. But now it’s the start of seventh grade and Alison has just moved to their neighborhood. Stephanie immediately clicks with her—she’s cool and fun and totally humble even though she’s the daughter of a famous actress. Stephanie hopes all three of them can be best friends, but the more she pushes Alison on Rachel, the more Rachel seems to drift away. Is it possible to have two best friends? Or is it true that two’s company, three’s a crowd?

"Somehow I had not read this book. Okay somehow is that I'm now in my 40s and I don't know when Judy Blume comes out with a new book anymore. But I saw it on my library's shelf and found that Ms. Blume still has the magic."

— Alisha, 1/23/2014" kind of annoying. tween problems must only be interesting to other tweens! i remember liking this book in 5th or 6th grade but now, not so much. "
— Kelly, 1/22/2014" This book is about two girls who are best friends. A new girl moves in and then the situation changes. I liked how they found a way to become best friends together. "
— Olivia, 1/18/2014" I was 8 or 9 when I read this book and I can still say that it is one of my favorites. Brings out the adolescent in me. :) "

— Noorashikin, 11/29/2013" I picked up this book without realizing it was a young adult book but because it was from Judy Blume, who I have always liked, I read it anyway. Decent story about 3 teenage girls all going through some issue or another. Quick read, and satisfying ending. "
— Ann, 11/25/2013" My favorite Judy Blume book. Because friendship is a theme I'll love no matter what :) "
— Angela, 11/22/2013" I was absolutely in love with this book as a kid. "
— Alex, 11/16/2013" Judy Bloom books are ok on average, and so was this one. There was nothing too different about it, no interesting plot twists or new ideas, which made it kind of boring. But, I enjoyed the characters a lot because they were all pretty believable. This is a good book if you have nothing else to read. "
— Alison, 9/13/2013" i Liked This Book A LOt ! i really enjoyed all the detailes and friendship stuff in The book. "
— (, 7/25/2013" The book was okay. Very relatable and not afraid to tell the truth, but I really didn't like the ending. It was too predictable and there were many useless characters. I so wish that Stephanie and Jeremy Dragon would have ended up together, but...oh well. "
— Sabrina, 2/2/2013" Fitting in, losing old friends, the cattiness of girls - JB really drives it home. I loved this book...probably because I could totally relate. "
— Courtney, 1/11/2013" Its so good theres a book called Heres to you Rachle Robins and i just read it "
— Chelsea, 9/19/2012" I read this several times growing up as a preteen. "
— Samara, 8/3/2012" not a remotely good book either! it just got more boring and more boring. definitely not a must-read. "
— Audrey, 7/11/2012" again, it was an okay book... pretty much all of judy blume's books are interesting but not something you'd call a really good read... "

— Bianeyy, 11/7/2011" it was amazing!!!! really deep into the character and she adds so much description. i can really picture it. "
— Pshahpankiewiczms51.org, 10/1/2011" This was just okay. I'm not its intended audience, but it seemed a little rambly and unfocused. The ending was kind of weak, but maybe that's because she saved back some of the good stuff for the sequel. "
— Lisbeth, 9/27/2011" In middle school, I think I read this book 12 times. :) "

— Michelle, 7/29/2011" One of my favorite Judy Blume books. "
— Jessi, 7/27/2011" it was such a good book!!! "
