Besties [Hardcover]

A fully illustrated celebration of female friendship that is a gift, a thank-you note, and a love letter all in one.      
 
Bestiessmartly captures all the reasons why best friends are . . . well, the best: they help you make decisions, are there through rough patches, and will always be your +1 for awkward parties. Even more than that, best friends are the people with whom dearest memories are shared, whether trivial or meaningful. In a style that is at turns both sweet and quirky, celebrated indie artist Leah Goren illustrates the many ways in which close friendships withstand the test of time, cross-country moves, failed romantic relationships, and silly arguments. Featuring whimsical artwork and a sincere message, this is the book friends both young and mature will want to give each other to show their appreciation.Leah Goren has been featured onDesign*Sponge, in Nylon magazine, and others.
