Great story about lost female friendship. Fast read, makes you think about friends you've lost touch with over the years.

this book held allot of promise. the author seems to have failed in really fleshing out the characters better.even though the book captures female friendships, it does not capture mature friendships.

A good story and quick read about the friendship between 2 girls from the time they are teenagers until they are twenty-nine. The characters are very real and the friendship, with all it's ups and downs, very believable.

Interesting story line of two women and their lives from young teens on up. I enjoyed it and found it a fast read.
I thought this was a really good book. It reminds you of old friendships that you once had and lost. This book has a shocking ending and keeps you guessing throughout.
