Frenemies by Megan Crane

Augusta "Gus" Curtis is turning thirty. She figures in preparation of becoming a grown-up she has the perfect trio: a stable boyfriend, two best friends, and a great job. When she catches her boyfriend kissing her freshmen year college room-mate, everything good in Gus's life begins to dim. Reeling from emotional upheaval, Gus must find a way to stablize her life again and discover what matters most to her. Full of hilarious antics, Frenemies preaches how growing up might be different than anyone can ever imagine.

Gus is a fantastic character, full of real life dreams and issues. Her best friends provide an excellent comical break from the drama. Frenemies is well written and fun with a typical but enjoyable plot. The book may seem to be an easy speed-read yet there are times when chapters seemed to drag endlessly, repeating the obvious. The book was too long, but don't give it up--the ending is worthwhile.

Content: Frenemies is an adult book, sexual situations occur and there is mention of drinking frequently.
