True friends give you strength, validation, and genuinely helpful fashion advice. Faux friends compliment your outfit because they hate it and flirt with your boyfriend the minute you leave for the bathroom. So how can you tell the difference? Friend or Faux has the answers -- along with more than 80 hilarious profiles of the most common female friends and frenemies, from the true blue to the truly diabolical. Readers will discover the catchphrases and characteristics of: The Creepy Clinger Friend ("Where are you going?"); The So-Slammed-at-Work-Right-Now Friend ("Work is so crazy right now -- can I call you back?"); The Crazy Cat Lady Friend ("You won't believe what Butterscotch did!"); The Shallow Scenester Friend ("I like your coat -- is that Old Navy?"); and many more. Complete with whimsical illustrations and organized by "threat level" rating, Friend or Faux will teach you how to keep and cherish your closest companions -- and how to evade the rest.
