3.5 stars**This review may contain spoilers**Between Friends by Amanda Cowen is a fun, easy read. Should you or should you not try making a friendship into something more?? Megan and Ben have been best friends for ten years, since high school. They do everything together, including work. Seriously, I'm not sure how they didn't consider themselves to be a couple already with as much as they do together...Friday night TV show marathons, going out with their group of best friends, etc. Well, OK, Ben sleeps with everyone he meets, so I guess I see, but still.The first 3/4 of this book was great, in my opinion. I was dying to see how everything was going to come together for Megan and Ben. I loved the relationship they had. I HATED Megan's girl friends. They were horrible. Who would stay friends with people like that?? Jessica, Megan's best friend, was called a bridezilla, but she was that person before she got engaged. She's selfish, mean, and very whiney! And Michelle and Stephanie, though not as whiney, are just as selfish and mean. I really don't see how Megan ended up friends with them in the beginning.The end dragged for me. I didn't really buy that Megan would completely cut Ben out of her life. I mean, she was his best friend for TEN YEARS! She knew him and what she was getting in to, so it's her fault, too. I just wanted to shake her and tell her to get over it already and at least talk to him and see what he has to say!Overall, I enjoyed the book. I wish Megan's friends were nice enough that I liked them a little. I'm glad this isn't a series. I'm not sure I'd want to read a story about anyone else from this story...unless the guys had individual stories with girls not in this first book. Anyway, if you are looking for a fun, somewhat sexy story with a little drama, I think you'll like this.
