Precious Thing by Collette McBeth

This is a story of friends- real, true, loyal friends- and what happens when a friend is betrayed. 

I thought, at a couple of points, that I had this book all figured out.  In fact, I was kind of disgusted that the author had made it that predictable.  I stuck with it, thinking, hoping, praying I'd be wrong.  I never imagined where Collette McBeth would take it.

We've all had those friends who are more like family to us than friends.  We've all had that one person who knows every single things about us, even if anyone else would be judgmental of us.  Rachel and Clara were just such friends.  I could picture them so clearly, whispering secrets, getting high for the first time together, sharing everything about themselves and still loving each other.
I could also imagine the depths to which one of them would sink.
 I could see, understand even, why she would do such horrible things to the person she loved most in the world.  I could even (almost, but not quite) imagine carrying out such a depraved plan of action in order to keep my friend. 

This one kept me on my toes, and will faintly keep the idea in my mind that maybe not everyone who loves me is as loving as I think.
