Guys I have a problem

[lowri (gcse hiatus)]

So my best friend keeps on asking me to borrow this book (that I haven't even read yet) but the thing is I know that book will come back with a broken spine and a bent cover 😭 so I don't know how to tell her that I don't want to lend it to her because she keeps asking and I say oh yeah I forgot. So help please guys because I don't want to hurt my bestie's feelings 💗

just say the truth! i know it’ll seem scary but it’s better than lying esp if she’s your best friend. she’ll understand. say it in a nice way tho but you definitely shouldn’t lie

I think it would be totally valid to just be honest and say like it’s a book you’ve really been wanting and you want to be able to read it first before giving it out

Honestly if she is your best friend it's better to be honest with her about it rather than lying to her.

Just tell that the book is special for you and you want to read it first before lending it to anyone (friend or not). If you feel like maybe your friend won't take it too well, just tell you lost it or that someone else asked to lend it before her.
