Friend is a Four-Letter Word

About the Book

Have you ever employed the world's oldest dumping line, "Can't we still be friends?" just to take the sting off a breakup? Or worse, have you ever had it used on you? Be honest. It didn't make you feel any better, did it? If you answered no, then you'll agree that, sometimes, the word friend can be a heartbreaker. That is the subject of Friend is a Four-Letter Word. It is a contemporary romantic comedy centered on Kate, a woman on the brink of madness in her attempt to navigate her way through relationships in the twenty-first century.

Picture a woman watching Fatal Attraction with a room full of happily married couples. Kate not only breaks into tears, but shamelessly asks the hostess for a tissue after witnessing the scene in which Glenn Close dies. (She was so misunderstood.) Friend is a Four-Letter Word takes an amusing look at the ever-blurring line between love, friendship and total insanity.
