​​Your Best Friends are the bedrock of your MC's life. They're the sounding board, the greek chorus, the comic relief, and lifesaver in many situations. Make sure your Bestie is:​​

​​👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽 Plain​​
​​👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽 Or as hot as MC, never hotter​​
​​👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽 Around when needed​​
​​👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽 Really funny​​
​​👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽 Really smart​​
​​👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽 Diversity pick​​
​​👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽 For Teen Fiction- Into school but not that into school​​
​​👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽 For Adult Fiction- has a lame job​​
​​👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽 For Billionaire/Dark Romance/Teen Fiction- Two-dimensional ​​
​​👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽 For RomCom- Three-dimensional​​

If you have a bestie who's hotter than your MC then make sure your MC has a major makeover by the end.​​
