Platonic Relationships In Books

As much as I love romance (and I bloody love romance) sometimes it's the non-romantic relationships that really make a book. And here are some of my favourites.

• Elektra and her family in Waiting for Callback by Honor and Perdita Cargill
  Gosh guys, this family? They're amazing. Supportive and caring and hilarious, and reading about them is a bit like getting a hug.
• The Avery family in Secrets and Sapphires by Leila Rasheed
  Basically I just love this book and wanted to mention it. I love the changing family dynamics and how the sisters try to deal with everything that's happening.
• Lucy and George in Lockwood & Co by Jonathan Stroud
  This one is a grower, but I love the back and forth between Lucy and George, the mutual disdain and (lets be honest) dislike that eventually turns to respect.
• Renée and Flo in Paper Aeroplanes by Dawn O'Porter
  I think this book has my most favourite portrayal of friendship EVER. It starts small and grows until it consumes them like friendships do when you're a teen.
• Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong from Murder Most Unladylike by Robin Stevens
  The friendship between these two is so special and pure and strong and just thinking about it kind of makes me want to cry.
• Frances and Aled from Radio Silence by Alice Oseman
  It's just so beautiful and precious and I feel a reread coming on. I love how nerdy they are together. And then you have Frances' mum oh man, she reminded me of my mum.
• Evie, Amber and Lottie from Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne
  The Spinster Club are one of my favourite friendship groups and I love how they support each other and truly care.
• Fliss and Margo from Margot & Me by Juno Dawson
  OK so this one starts off ROUGH but also Margo is *amazing* and needed to be on this list and I couldn't remember the names of her wartime friends.
• The Fallen Children in The Fallen Children by David Owen
  Basically it's a group of girls who go through something awful and heart-wrenching and terrifying and horrifying, and yet they still kind of support each other and protect each other.
• Milly, Elyse and Leonie from One Italian Summer by Keris Stainton
  I don't think a book has ever hit me quite as hard as this one - and a huge part of that is because the sisterly relationship between these three is so real. It's like me when I'm with my sisters.
