We've all had that friend—the girl who tore down our outfit choices every day at school. The girl who laughed at us when we told her who we liked. But, at the end of the day, this girl was still someone we considered a friend.

After reading a new book by Haley DiMarco (author of Mean Girls), I realized I shouldn't call girls like this my friend. Like the title of this book, they are Frenemies: What To Do When Friends Turn Mean.

It’s a fabulous read on how to deal with friends who are mean to you. Complete with an easy checklist of 10 items, you’ll be able to identify your friend as a frenemy instead of a genuine bud. Is she controlling? Do you feel worse after talking to her? If you answered yes to these questions, then you, my friend, have a frenemy on your hands.

This book comes with easy quizzes to help decide if your friend is really a true blue, what to do if your friend is a frenemy, and whether or not to stay pals. Plus, the pages are loaded with cute pictures, color and highlights, making it stand out against those cheesy self-help books out there, totally engaging its audience,

This book is perfect for any girl who thinks they have a friendship that is a little bit too toxic. Be sure to check out Frenemies by Haley DiMarco, then let us know your thoughts.

Have you ever dealt with a friend who was mean to you? How did you handle it? Blog it out, babes.
