The Friendship Matchmaker by Randa Abdel-Fattah
2.0
Lara believes herself to be a Loner By Choice establishes herself as a Friendship Matchmaker, a sort of counselor and platonic dating service in one. Then she gets into a competition with a new girl who believes Lara's rules for friendships are insane and mean giving up everything you are, so are these friendships really genuine?
Predictable ending, bland plot, only minor acknowledgement that The Rules really are terrible ideas (pretend to love a thing that someone else loves, make sure your hair and clothing are completely nondescript, etc). Upper-elementary; even 6th graders will probably find this too young for them.
