I'm having the hardest time nixing all the real ones that showed up in books. Ahem. In no particular order...
1. Meg and Charles Wallace
I love their sibling friendship so, so, so much and it reminds me often of my sister and I. We are close, even when we get under each other's skin.
2. Anne Shirley and Diana Barry
True friends that loved each other dearly and were always there for each other and were just beautiful friends.
3. Anne Shirley and Matthew Cuthbert
I'm thinking the movie here and they were so precious. So precious. I weep over their friendship.
4. The whole group in Secrets of Jin-Shei
Wow, what a book on female friendship and everyone who thinks the cultural/fantasy angle was insufficient can just go stuff it, because this book was gorgeous.
5. Anne Shirley and Philippa Gordon
I love their friendship and how generally unjealous they are and that they are true friends even if they did manage to quarrel or throw harsh truths at each other once in a while.
All the rest of my top, top favorite friendships aren't fictional or are biblical or are in my fiction, so I think I got the right set done.
1. Madeleine L'Engle's Wrinkle in Time series 2. Anne of Green Gables series by L. M. Montgomery 3. Anne of Green Gables (1985) movie 4. Secrets of Jin-Shei by Alma Alexander 5. Anne of the Island by L. M. Montgomery
Top five fictional friendships.
