My Hot Friend by Sophie White
Synopsis
The new novel from the bestselling author of The Snag List and Filter This.
For very different reasons, Lexi, Claire and Joanne all need new best friends. Unfortunately you're probably more likely to be attacked by a shark than make new friends in your 30s . . .
Lexi is on top of the world. The podcast she co-hosts with her ride-or-die bestie Amanda is going stratospheric but cracks are appearing and Lexi's starting to wonder if maybe monetising a friendship isn't the best idea after all.Claire's Whatsapp chat with her school friends is ominously quiet these days, which can only mean one thing: a side group without her. And when her newly-engaged supposed BFF doesn't even consider her as a bridesmaid, Claire hatches a cunning (if slightly bonkers) plan to find a new best friend and show her old gang what they're missing.
Joanne's just had a baby so she's no longer available for tequila-fuelled nights out -- something she has to keep reminding her pals about. She loves her son and her boyfriend Bert (even if his un-steeped porridge bowls are about to send her over the edge) but theloneliness is killing her. Fate brings Claire, Joanne and Lexi together as they navigate the knotty, joyful and occasionally toxic swamp that is female friendship and try to decide which friends to fight for and which have a sell-by date.
