Reviews

[Andrea · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am a big fan of this book. I read it many years ago and it took on a whole new feel to me today, as a woman and a mother who has relocated from my "home" base in NYC to Down South in NC. It's a new perspective when I can't turn the corner and find a friend I grew up with or a friend from college.

It's a great reminder that there are so many kinds of girlfriends out there, and whatever you may share in common, whether it is history, plans, loves, likes, dislikes, goals or dreams, if you're able to connect and stay connected that is what matters the most.

Cute book with ideas of different activities and cute stories about friendship. Not particularly groundbreaking or original, but nothing offensive.
