Friends to the End, and Here's the End
With her friend Mackenzie becoming more obsessed with boys by the minute, Cathleen feels their BFF status slipping away. But when Mackenzie asks for help getting her ex-boyfriend back, Cathleen offers to write her a fake love letter in her sloppy “boy handwriting” to make him jealous and nudge him in the right direction. It sounds like a clever plan until somebody spots her dropping the love poem on her friend’s desk, and the spider web of school gossip decides Cathleen must be a lesbian. Mackenzie denies the whole plan, making the rumors and teasing Cathleen has to endure every day even worse.
​
Still, Cathleen has her other friends, like the founder of Chicks Against Chick Flicks and the chief of the grammar police. But they’re convinced that they can make up with Mackenzie, and as the rumors heat up, Cathleen wonders whose side they’re on. And how is she supposed to win over a cute, nice, and funny boy she just met if he thinks she’s a lesbian... and she’s wondering if she might have some other desires too? Not even lectures from her older, smarter, and more parental-approved sister provide any good answers.
To come to terms with who Mackenzie’s become, to figure out if she can keep any of her best friends, to navigate through the nasty rumors, and to deal with her nosy sister, Cathleen needs to search her heart while cherishing every laugh and smile she can get along the way.
