Summary:
Katherine has moved away from her sleepy town of Manchester, Vermont. Her old best friend, Laney Marten, is still stuck there. They've lost touch until an inheritance brings them back together again. The two friends have to deal with their grudges in order to come to decisions about the large Victorian mansion. Dealing with the wounds left from the past, ultimately leads to healing and a walk through memory lane.

My thoughts:
It's been a little while since I've indulged in a true chick lit book. I love the relationship between these two friends. We get their development from two angles. We see them as adults with all of their flaws and tensions, but we also see them as children with all of their happy memories. Of course, the conflict is about something that has happened years ago and the two must work through that in order to reunite. Friends are supposed to last forever, and this book really gives that lasting love a concentrated look. I enjoyed it and feel it would be a perfect "at the pool" read.
