About the Book: (from Amazon)
When her friend’s phone is stolen, Holly promises her that she will find it. But as the school year ends, and she hasn’t been able to find it, she’s certain she’s failed her friend and doesn’t deserve her nickname, Nancy Drew.
Teen years are filled with never-ending problems, from final exams to dealing with parents divorcing, realizing you probably can’t deliver on a solemn vow you’ve made, and trying to find the time to throw a surprise birthday party.
Holly finds out that she has no control over final exams and the reality of her friend Lydia’s parents’ divorce. But having to renege on a promise she was certain she could keep, not only destroys her self-confidence, it also makes her feel like a total failure.
Join Holly and her friends as they pass through several rites of passage during these difficult years. And with a little bit of a miracle, maybe, just maybe, she can fulfill that promise she made to Lydia

I would go to a very special restrauant for my friends birthday
I don't have any friends, so I can't answer this question.
For a friends birthday I like to take them out for a really good dinner.
Also see a play or show that we would both enjoy.
And then I would get them an ice cream cake!
I feel like I would go pretty far to make a friend or family member's birthday feel special.
For my best friend whom I have known now for 60 years I will do everything and anything to make her day very special.
I like to theme the birthday based on their likes or hobbies. A great dinner is also included if I can
I love to have surprise birthday parties for friends at fun locations with a theme.

In my younger days I drove 600 miles to spend the weekend with my best friend for her birthdya................ and we had FUN
I would do all in my power for a friend's birthday! If money wasn't an issue..I would take them anywhere in the world they would want to go! Happy release!
If I had all the resources I needed I would do everything I could to make my friend's birthday a wonderful event. I usually just go with fixing them a favorite meal and a small gift.
