So many of the girls' experiences mirrored mine. I could not put this down and read it in one day. Definitely one I would recommend to anyone looking for an entertaining and enjoyable experience.
The story takes place from the early 1950's to the present time (2001 or 2002). I was born in the middle of this time period, so it was neat to read about events that have happened in my life time from someone's "personal" point of view in a letter. It really made you feel as though you were part of the friendship and story.
Between Friends is the story of Lesley and Jillian, two friends since they were 7 years old. It begins with notes passed in class or diary entries. The story progresses through adolescence, high school, love, marriage, pregnancy, loss and death, illness, and getting older. It is an awesome story of friendship and real life relationships. I would recommend everyone read this book, and then call up your friends and tell them how you feel.
