Given the persistent vitriol, Myracle might be forgiven if she decided to pull her punches. "My very favorite was from a Web site called Virtue Alert, which sent out an e-mail blast saying, ‘SATAN IS ON THE RAMPAGE, AND HIS NAME IS LAUREN MYRACLE!' " Lauren Myracle has concocted another funny, touching look at the rocky road of real friendship-bumpy, nutty, and marshmallow-sweet."I get probably 10 e-mails a week that say things like, ‘Are you a pedophile? Shame on you trying to make money by corrupting children,' " Myracle tells PW, speaking on the phone from Fort Collins, Colo., where she lives with her husband and three children. Maddie makes some really bad moves with Clive, a pot-smoking hipster who wants to be "friends with benefits."
