It actually saddens me that I'll probably never have a friend like these friends were. Sometimes when I'm reading a book I read reviews other people have written about it. One review I read claimed she couldn't understand why they were friends when they hated each other so much - but that simply isn't true. They loved each other to the core, but their dialogue is heavy with sarcasm. That reader was just confused.

The story deals very well with sexism, racism, sexual orientation-ism, and classism. This is the first time I've read a novel dealing with racism that didn't sound forced or like a made-for-TV script, which was refreshing.
