Books and Suits

No one leaves the "Friend Zone." Right?

 

Amanda Gardella and Joel Martin were best friends growing up in the same suburban town. Secure in the knowledge that they could defy the stereotype that "boys and girls can't be best friends", they steadfastly resisted the lure of being high school steadies—even if they fed the rumor mill a little too much!

 

They were sure they'd always have time for each other as adults—but Amanda followed the books, becoming a librarian at the local university. Joel followed the suits, leaving town to join a high-pressure investment firm in the city.

 

Time, distance, and a little bit of resentment that Books and Suits came between them, Amanda and Joel's close relationship dwindled to little more than wistful memories.

 

Then, one day Joel's world gets turned upside down and he realizes there's only one person who can make things right again.
