    Good book

    This is a good book. I found that I did not identify to certain parts due to me not being at that point in my life that I have to be concerned about being a homemaker and trying to balance friendships with a busy family life. I did find some things in the book helpful and I believe it was a good breakdown of topics from chapter to chapter. It was a good book and I like the fact that two best friends wrote about their experiences of friendship, both good and bad. I just wished I would have found a book about friendship that was a bit more 'general' in it's target market; something that would reach more people than just women of that particular lifestyle.
