Summary: wonderful!!!
Review: Although, at first, I was attracted by the title of the book, it was a great disappointment. I had to wade through 200 pages of collected short stories. There was no indepth analysis of why women's relationships with each other differ from those between men. The whole book read like a piece of work the two authors put together over the weekend. What a great, great disappointment.

Summary: For a true friend
Review: I found myself exclaiming, "that's us!" outloud while reading this. I originally bought this book for my best friend's Christmas presant. I signed it and everything, but soon found myself lost in its pages. I'll wrap it later! If you have a true friend who has touched your life, this is a very sweet gift to give.

Summary: Dear, Sweet, & Beautiful
Review: This book was given to me by my best friend after finishing college. I will always treasure this thoughtful and special gift._Girlfriends_ is a collection of stories that explore and celebrate female friendship through the eyes, ears, and hearts of everyday women. Some of the women were friends for a lifetime, others for a short time. However, all understood and/or demonstrated the meaning of "true friendship." For example, the stories included everything from the thankful musings of a once-ill woman about the extraordinaty kindness of her girlfriends to a giggly account of how two eerily-simiar best friends met as assigned roomates their first day of college. (The latter tale struck very close to home in a wonderfully spooky way.) While many of the stories tugged at the heartstrings, I never felt manipulated by the authors. (Note: Part of the reason why I don't like the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series is that I feel that the authors are just dying to make the reader clutch for the box of tissues.) Rather, I appreciated the "real" tone of the stories, as they read like good conversation shared over a nice pot of Hazlenut coffee. Some readers have commented on the book's simple language and lack of depth. I don't think the goal here was to explore the psychology of friendship, rather I think it was intended to be a simple and beautiful celebration meant to be enjoyed by "Girlfriends" everywhere. Enjoy!

Review: This book was given to me for my 38th b day from my best friend. I certainly wished I had known it was out there, only so I could have bought it for her first. It is been a great book to read, it is the kind of book that really warms your heart as you travel back in time to good memories with friends that stick with you. It is the PERFECT gift and will be one long remembered.
