I enjoyed the writting style of this book. There were many passages and phrases that I stopped and reread because they just caught me -- saying so much, so accurately, in so little words. I give Ms Stewart high marks for her writing ability. The story itself was a quick read and did mannage to captivate my attention, though I never had a friendship anywhere near what was discribed. The twist didn't work that well for me . . . created some gaps in my expectations of the book. I really didn't see it coming so for a twist it was successful. The particular copy I read had some extras after the story. I am glad the two 'deleted scenes' were removed.

Great story about lost female friendship. Fast read, makes you think about friends you've lost touch with over the years.
Helpful Score: 3
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.

This is such a sweet story of two friends that made me both laugh and cry. Anyone who has lost a childhood best friend will enjoy this book. I especially liked the character Oliver.
