This book tells the story of Cameron and Sonia whose friendship abruptly ends after college. The story goes back and forth between the present day and their time of being best friends until we find out what exactly happened (of course, it involves a boy). Some of the themes explored are reconciliation, choices we make, protecting ourselves, loss, and moving on. For the most part, the book was engaging (I read it all in one day), and although it is kind of more in the "chic-lit" genre, it's well-written enough to not be annoying. A good kick-back easy read book. The book made me think about my own "best friends" from the past, especially those from high school, that I am no longer in contact with. What have they chosen to do with their lives? Are they married? Do they have families? How did we manage to lose touch? Have we changed so much that we wouldn't be friends anymore? And how much do I still care?
Hum. I guess this book also struck something inside of me since my ten-year high school reunion is coming up later this month. I am not going, but within the last couple of weeks, I've heard from my only two high school friends that I still talk to. None of us is going. Yah, I'll pass on that walk down memory lane.
