Your book BFF is publicist Analyn Sanchez! Stylish, intelligent, and successful, she’s the friend you call for any problem, whether you need a recommendation for a car service or advice on how to dig yourself out of a work crisis. She’s happy just to hang out, but expect to get some life lessons when the conversation turns serious—she has an uncanny knack for seeing a situation and knowing just how to fix it. She may bring the tough love if she’s your BFF, but you can be guaranteed she’ll also bring you coffee, organizing supplies, and her full attention whenever you need it.

Your book BFF is pastry chef Melody Johansson! She seems like the quintessential girly girl—lover of all things fashion, vintage, and chocolate-covered—but there’s a lot more to her than meets the eye. She’s also tough, intelligent, and resilient, which means when you bare your soul over a salted-caramel éclair, she’ll listen to you carefully, bring you another éclair, and then give you advice based on her own hard-earned life lessons. If you need a friend who is willing to talk man problems while refinishing your dining room table, Melody is your ideal BFF.

If you’re equally likely to call for a serious chat as you are to make plans for a rock concert, Grace Brennan is your ideal BFF.
Your book BFF is hospitality consultant Andrea Sullivan! Smart, ambitious, and stylish, she’s the first one you should call when you want to spend the afternoon watching a classic movie marathon or shopping your way through the big city.
