Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!
This week is a TTT freebie! I wasn’t sure what to do at first but I’ve just finished binging Lisa Kleypas’ Wallflowers series. The series features SUCH an amazing group of friends and I just adored their friendship so much. So it struck me. My favorite friendships!
The Wallflowers series by Lisa Kleypas:
Annabelle, Lillian, Evie and Daisy. <3 !! They support each other, they’re great listeners, advice givers; they comfort and laugh with each other and gosh I loved their friendship so so much.
Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson:
I adored Emily and Sloane and everything this book said about friendship. It made me nostalgic for childhood best friend days.
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein:
*bursts into tears* KISS ME HARDY, KISS ME QUICK. Just go read it.
Open Road Summer by Emery Lord:
Reagan and Dee! I loved how they had each other’s backs and they knew and got each other. The type of friendship I just envied!
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling:
Hermione, Harry and Ron. They would not have survived without their friendship! There are SO many amazing friendships in this series though. Neville. Luna. Ginny. The twins. OH EVERYONE. So much love.
Pushing the Limits series by Katie McGarry:
Noah, Isaiah, Beth are like FAMILY. They’re not blood but that doesn’t matter, they would do anything for each other. I loved how close they are!
The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay:
Drew and Josh! They seem like such opposites but I loved how they were still friends despite it all. Drew can reach Josh. Love those two.
The Covenant series by Jennifer Armentrout:
Guys, I can’t even tell you how much I loved all the characters, especially at the end. They sacrifice so much for their friends. <3
Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas:
Chaol and Dorian! Oh was there ever more of an amazing friendship?? It doesn’t matter if things drive them apart, because their friendship runs deeper than that! And THAT SCENE at the end…. oh god.
I love strong friendships in books, they’re often more interesting than romances. Agree with so many of your choices. Plus anything by Sarah Rees Brennan, she is SO GOOD at creating brilliant groups of friends with incredible ties to each other.
My TTT
AHHHH HOW COULD YOU BRING UP THE CHAOL DORIAN SCENE? I’M GOING TO GO HAVE ANOTHER HEART ATTACK NOW. *sobs forever* I love those two and I’m dying after that cliffhanger. xD I love bookish friendships. I think Code Name Verity just STOLE my heart, and Rose Under Fire? Oh wow. Elizabeth Wein is an incredible writer and I haaate how she breaks my heart with every book. XD But, pfft, what am I saying? I also love it. xD
Here’s my TTT!
Really nice idea for a topic. I’m not sure I was emotionally ready to see Chaol and Dorian because of That Scene! I love those guys and that cliffhanger was so cruel! It’s nice to see the Harry Potter series on here too, you’re right, as well as Harry, Ron and Hermione, there’s lots of other great friendships.

It’s wonderful to read about real friendships in books. I think of the three kids in Mockingbird.
Here’s mine: Best Moving-and-Starting-Over Books!
I love Katie McGarry’s books – her characters are so real and gritty. My favourite book friendships are:
Karou and Zuzana in Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone & Maddie and Verity in Elizabeth Wein’s Code Name Verity.
When Bad Covers Happen to Good Books
I love strong friendships, too! Sadly, I can’t think of many lOL great list though
Love, love, LOVE the friendships between the golden trio in HP, Chaol and Dorian in ToG AND the Covenant Series ♥♥♥!! Gah! So many feels! I still need to read Code Name Verity though. Awesome topic this week Wendy and GREAT picks 😀 xx
Code Name Verity. *sobs* I still don’t think I’ve emotionally recovered from that book. Actually I probably never will.
And yes to Isaiah, Beth and Noah. They are amazing. Love how close they are and how they’ll do anything for each other.
CHAOL AND DORIAN FOREVER!!!! I feel like I’ve made lists of friendships before and never included them. What the heck is wrong with me??? They’re the best friends ever!
Yay! Friendships!!! <3 Love Dee and Reagan, Chaol and Dorian, and McGarry's characters. So good! And of course HP… love those three!
I just LOVE that you mentioned the Wallflowers. That was my very first thought! Also, Pushing the Limits and The Sea of Tranquility – yes!
I really need to read Since You’ve Been Gone!
I haven’t read Sea of Tranquility yet, but it’s definitely on my radar. It sounds phenomenal. I’m ALL OVER Open Road Summer. Have you read The Start of Me and You yet? That’s got a great group of girlfriends too. Lord has a way of creating real, honest friendship stories.
