From Introduction: being best friends So, what’s this book all about? Well, it’s a role-playing game about being a girl. Yeah, everyone plays a girl. If you’re not down with that then just put best friends back wherever you found it and walk away. No hard feelings, eh? So, still here? OK, it’s a game about being best friends and all the little hatreds that best friends have for each other. Oh, I know. You’re gonna say that y’all get along just peachy. Well, that’s fine too. No one said any of this was true. But, between you and me: it probably is. Anyway, you and some friends all play girlfriends and try to do stuff together while secretly hating each other. And getting little frissons of excitement out of getting one up on your best friends.
