I forgot! I want more stories about BEST FRIENDS! #MSWL

My latest #mswl is for the friendship dynamics shown in Derry Girls. Earnest, unique individuals who shouldn't work together but somehow do, who are outlandishly funny, obliviously teen, and above all have each others backs.

YES, YES, YES. Please. I want a male/female friendship SO badly. Someone please send this to me. Just best friends. No almost kisses, no sex, no buried feelings, no feelings out in the open. JUST. FRIENDS. If you have this, I want it. #MSWL

Can't stop watching #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral miniseries and now I really want a YA version: diverse, tight-knit friend group, romance abound, lots of drama with just as much heart #MSWL

Still really really looking for an updated YA GIRL: INTERRUPTED type story! Powerful, combustible friendships between teen girls, and stories that talk about the weird, emotionally-fraught ups and downs of teen friendships. #MSWL

I love DERRY GIRLS and I think you can totally pull that off in MG as well. Would also love to see a book that deals with friendships and break-ups. #MSWL

I would love stories dealing with the highs and lows of relationships of all kinds- sibling, friendships, parental, work-related, romantic, #mswl

rivals to lovers (not the same thing!), friends to lovers, fake dating, secret identity shenanigans, there's only one bed #mswl

Speaking of BFFs to lovers, did anyone ever make a marriage pact with their BFF when they were in high school? Like, “if we’re not married by the time we’re 40, we’re gonna marry each other.” Curious to see if anyone had this, and if they did, I want my BFF to lovers MS. #MSWL

Best friends to lovers. 😍 WHERES my friends to lovers manuscripts?! #MSWL

YES! #MSWL

#mswl MG I’d love to see a manuscript about the drama, the friendships, etc., that happen in an after-school aftercare program that’s part of a middle school but not really. A Breakfast-Club-esque kind of group.

#MSWL ❤️

#MSWL so @SoCalledYALife and I can battle over the lovelies 😍

And finally my evergreen #MSWL right now: mermaids. Evil mermaids. Magical realism mermaids. 13th Year Mermaids.

And Ren Faire contemporary.

And Spice Girls friendship break-up MG or YA.

"A diverse, contemporary YA novel about strong guy friendships. Think Poe and Finn. <3" @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

#mswl 😂❤️

#StrangerThings3 is legit the MG novel we all want. Kids breaking into shit? “Taking down commies, saving your friends”? Yes please.
