Fiction Friday: FRIENDSHIP

This week I've been working on refining and nuancing the friendships between my main character and a couple of secondary characters which got me to thinking about fun and fascinating best friends from fiction...

Betsy & Tacy, through the years

Harry, Hermione & Ron

"Three the Hard Way" (read this one!)

Friendships in fiction can be inspirational, can turn into romances, can dissolve into cruelty... Friendships can be lasting and heartfelt, or insincere and manipulative.  As I refine AUDITION, I want to make sure readers understand the different types of friendships my mc has with various other characters in the story--and the impact each of these relationships has on her.

Who are your favorite fictional best friends?  What have their journeys taught you about your own writing?
