Advice for School from YA Books

One of our book club books pops up in the YALSA post "All I Need to Know I Learned from YA Fiction: Back to School Advice From Your Favorite Books":
It never hurts to diversify your friend circle. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to friendship. Everyone wants a best friend, but people change. You never know when that childhood friend will get a psychotic new girlfriend who hates you, then turn against you and die after supposedly setting fire to a pet store before you can make things right. If you don’t have anyone else to turn to, you may be left to work extra shifts at Pagoda Pizza and become a closet alcoholic all on your own. Two friends are always better than one. — Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King
