The Ladies' Guide to Pride & Envy

"This is why I'm your only friend." "Please don't go around spreading such falsities. I have plenty of acquaintances." "I didn't say anything about acquaintances. I know you have plenty of those. But when it comes to a friend, someone you actually care about... I think, no, I know I'm the only one." Juliana Walsh lived most of her life without attachments to people or things until she met Sophie. As their senior year in high school reaches its end, Sophie is determined to confess her feelings, whether Juliana is ready to hear them or not. Juliana doesn't hate Sophie but feels uncomfortable around her. She wants nothing more than to preserve their friendship, but Sophie has no such plans. One wants to embark on something new and dangerous, while the other fears leaving the comforts of something old and familiar. To make matters worse, while Juliana is confused by her emerging feelings for Sophie, her nemesis and pretend friend, May, adds to the chaos. From getting surgery to look like Juliana to stalking and kidnapping, is there nothing May won't do to take Juliana's place? Juliana and Sophie, with the help of their loved ones, work against the clock to stop May's game before one of them ends up in jail or, worse, dead.
