my best friend's girl
*

what the blurb says. . .
what would you do for the friend who broke your heart?
Best friends Kamryn Matika and Adele Brannon thought nothing could come between them - until Adele did the unthinkable and slept with Kamryn's fiance, Nate. Worse still, she got pregnant and had his child. When Kamryn discovered the truth about their betrayal she vowed never to see any of them again.

Two years later, Kamryn receives a letter from Adele asking her to visit her in hospital. Adele is dying and begs Kamryn to adopt her daughter, Tegan. With a great job and a hectic social life, the last thing Kamryn needs is a five-year-old to disrupt things. Especially not one who reminds her of Nate. But with no one else to take care of Tegan and Adele fading fast, does she have any other choice?

So begins a difficult journey that leads Kamryn towards forgiveness, love, responsibility and, ultimately, a better understanding of herself.

what the blurb means. . .
My Best Friend's Girl is very different from my first two novels in that it deals with difficult issues such as death and adoption. The main character, Kamryn, is also very different from The Cupid Effect's Ceri and The Chocolate Run's Amber. I loved writing the book, although it was a hard slog. I'd also love to hear what you think after you've read the first two chapters.

'It's grown up...really impressive...I can see this as a TV drama.'
Lowri Turner, speaking on Richard & Judy Summer Reads Book Club, 26 July 2006
