Among Friends — Caroline B. Cooney

THE AWESOME THREESOME
Together-forever friends -- that's how everyone had always thought of them, and how they'd thought of themselves. Until now.

Jennie: The powerful center of the trio, Jennie strives for perfection. But her quest to be the best at everything threatens to destroy what matters most to her.

Emily: Although part of Emily wishes the Threesome wasn't splitting apart, she's afraid that her own jealousy of Jennie's accomplishments will keep her from putting the pieces back together.

Hillary: Being friends with Jennie and Emily had meant everything to Hillary. Now, standing in the glow of Jennie's limelight isn't enough anymore.

The fall of The Awesome Threesome is the talk of the junior class. Watching the disintegration of a friendship they thought was a sure thing, Jennie, Hillary, Emily, "supercouple" Jared and Ansley, and classmate Paul "Classified" question their own goals and limitations. What price does anyone have to pay for being number one?
