An Implausible Sisterhood

I'm sorry, but these books in which the most unlikely kids end up as best friends are just silly. We can all think back to our junior high school days, and like attracted like. There's a reason that nerds hang out with nerds, partiers coalesce, and jocks create the formidable wall that no one tries to breach. I literally never knew any two such disparate characters who were self acclaimed bosom buddies. Never. So the idea that these two clicked at that impressionable age, and furthermore, sustained their co-dependent friendship over all those years is highly dubious to me. I just don't buy it. So the house of cards doesn't really stand. The writing is good, but to me the whole premise of the plot didn't really work.
