She's been his best friend since they first met and hit it off. However, he's marrying another woman soon. Bradley isn't feeling too hot about his fiancée's recent behavior. Both of them live two hours away from each other and it doesn't help his insecurities. Is his fiancée cheating on him? Jennifer, his best friend, is the only rock in his life keeping him anchored to reality, and she's the only one to help him figure it all out. When Jennifer and Bradley set out to confront his fiancée, the trip doesn't go as smoothly as it should. A five-year-old stowaway in Jennifer's pickup truck may be the one person who throws everything off the rails, but also may be the one who brings the two friends closer. Can they get the girl back to her rightful guardian and still confront Bradley's wife-to-be? Not if a deadbeat dad named Dudley has anything to say about it. Dudley, the girl's biological dad, is a far bigger threat than Bradley's relationship problems. Jennifer has always had his back. But, Bradley's current behavior will determine if Jennifer remains his loyal companion or if she moves on. Bradley, meanwhile, has a decision to make: follow and trust his best friend in the whole world? Or, go through with his marriage. Making Friendship is the second installment of the Hijinks in Jenks series by Rylee Shelton, which can be read in any order. If you would enjoy a romantic comedy that leans more towards comedic absurdity such as Mel Brooks or Douglas Adams, then you'll greatly enjoy this comedy of errors about the powerful nature of friendship.
