Determined to host the social event of the season—a soiree celebrating her forever‑friendship with Halley—she is shocked when Halley's fresh look from art camp defies Avalon’s taste. As the two navigate shared custody of their puppy Pucci, drafting lists of friends and exchanging secrets, their once‑unbreakable bond teeters between best friendship and bitter rivalry. With “Frenemies,” readers follow Avalon and Halley as they discover whether their ultra‑fabulous friendship can survive when style, individuality, and loyalty collide.
