We Need To Discuss The Most Toxic Best Friends In Fiction

Sometimes , we require a little group therapy . And by " we , " I mean audience .

There’s been much talk on the internet the past few months (years?) about how Carrie Bradshaw was actually, like, the worst-ever friend. Love her or hate her (or both), looking back, she definitely said and did some questionable things. And reflecting on that, I couldn’t help but wonder: who are some of the other Worst Best Friends in fiction?

i feel like every subsequent re - watching of sex and the city is just about feeling more and more powerfully that carrie bradshaw is a huge asshole

So feel free to write in and tell me who the WORST, most toxic BFFs in fiction are — but give mereasons!Because to my shame, Ididneed Carrie’s instances of bad friendship pointed out to me before I saw what had been in front of us the entire time.

Maybe you are a die-hard, day-one H.O.R. (Hater of Ross). Give me eeeevery reason.

Maybe you never could understand Serena and Blair’s frenemy-ship. Tell me about your frustrations.

And though we all love her, perhaps you have something to get off your chest about the eponymous Fleabag.

Or… perhaps you have an unpopular opinion you want to air, or an opinion about (gasp!) a character in a book! Lots of us still read those, and would love to hear what you have to say.

…And if you have something more to say about Miss Bradshaw, please, be my guest.
