Straight Girl’s Best Friend
The Straight Girls Series Season Too (Too Good to Miss) Series, Book 3
By S.E. Chandler
When a bad boy brings you hell instead of heaven, call your gay best friend.
In a Straight Girls Series twist, this harrowing story is told from the straight girl’s perspective. Kary (her name is Karen, but anyone who goes by Karen anymore is a Karen) is eking out young adult life as a bank teller when one lucky transaction brings her Prince Charming. Things heat up fast with Liam, Mr. CrossFit, almost-six-figure car finance guy, and they move in together. Everything’s great, of course, except how much Kary’s best friend, Alex, and Liam hate each other. Liam is alcohol; Alex is fresh cuts.
As with all of us who have been in love with an oblivious best friend, Alex has been pining for Kary for years. A solid decade. She can’t stand Liam because he treats her a million times worse than Alex ever would. And at least ten times worse than anyone should. When Alex catches Liam with a firm grip on Kary’s wrist during an argument, Alex’s feelings about him turn from bad to beastly. Alex pleads with her to get out. Kary does–but with Alex, not Liam. Which turns out to be a decision that may cost her life.
After she’s hurt and abandoned the person who loved her most, will Alex come to her rescue?
From the author: This story goes deeper and closer to the nerve than my usual fare. I definitely felt like I was hitting above my weight class with every page I wrote. I was shaking so bad after writing the climax, I had to take a clonazepam to get to sleep that night!
The book is spun from a short story I wrote in 2001 or 2002. Doing the research was really tough. I know people who have been through this. My sister being one. I wanted to say something with this book, not just entertain.
