What’s the fastest way to ruin a friendship?

Fall in love with your best friend.

Kate and Lissa have been joined at the hip since one fateful day in gym class when they were paired up to practice headstands. An unlikely friendship blooms when the most popular girl in the class (Kate) asks the most shy, awkward of the bunch (Lissa) to hang out. Now four years have passed and the girls share everything from movie popcorn to their darkest secrets. Their connection is almost psychic, always knowing and sensing what the other is thinking and feeling.

And then there was the party. Too much to drink and too many loud, obnoxious boys drive the friends outside to get some air. Everything is fine until Kate leans in to kiss Lissa. And much to her surprise, Lissa kisses back. Just then the boys come searching for them and Kate suddenly “forgets” everything that just happened and even goes as far as to snag a new boyfriend that same night.

Lissa is mortified. Kate won’t acknowledge Lissa’s existence. Can this friendship survive the kiss?
