From the beloved author of the TBH and Friendship List series, Lisa Greenwald, comes a novel about one girl's mission to revisit her top five friendship fails and prove she's totally best friend material!

Eleni is the kind of person who has always had a best friend—an automatic, guaranteed by-her-side person—at home, at school, and at camp. And since before she was even born, her very best friend has been Sylvie Bank.

But when Sylvie's end-of-summer birthday party becomes the end of their friendship, Eleni can't picture starting middle school without her best friend by her side. She can't picture anything without her best friend—especially the looming school overnight. Who will she even room with?

So before the big overnight, Eleni sets out on a mission: to figure out where her friendships went wrong, what's wrong with her, and what makes a good friend. But if she's totally honest, there's only one real goal: to win back Sylvie Bank!

Eleni is determined to find out why their friendship ended and what she can do to fix it. She starts by talking to her other friends and trying to understand what went wrong. She realizes that she has been neglecting her friendships in favor of her obsession with Sylvie.

Eleni also realizes that she needs to work on herself to be a better friend. She starts by being more empathetic and listening to her friends' problems. She also tries to be more honest with her friends and not keep secrets from them.

As Eleni works on her friendship problems, she also tries to win back Sylvie's trust. She invites her to a party and tries to be her best friend again. Sylvie is hesitant at first, but eventually, she agrees to go to the party.

At the party, Eleni and Sylvie reconnect and have a great time together. They talk about their problems and work together to solve them. Eleni realizes that she doesn't need Sylvie to be happy and that she can be her best friend without her.

In the end, Eleni learns that true friendship is about being there for your friends, even when it's hard. She also learns that it's important to work on yourself and be honest with your friends. And most importantly, she learns that you can win back your best friend's trust and rebuild your friendship even after it's been broken.

Eleni's mission to win back Sylvie Bank is a testament to the power of true friendship and the importance of working on yourself to be a better friend. Lisa Greenwald's novel is a must-read for anyone who has ever had a friendship fail and wants to learn how to fix it.
