Summary: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? BUY THIS NOW.
Review: I can't say enough about this fabulous book. It's unique yet universal--the trials, tribulations and triumphs of two best friends through the years. Reading their letters, memos, telegrams, DUI forms (yep), report cards, graduation announcements and all the bits and pieces that makes up a life -- well, it just makes these two as real as your OWN best friend. PLEASE buy this book. It's amazing.

Review: I didn't think I would care for the format of this book, written as letters, but after a couple of pages, I was hooked. Baby boomers who grew up with the Vietnam War and other events of that era will especially love this story.

Summary: Recommended!
Review: I don't have too much time to sit down and read, but I picked up this book and finished it in 2 nights, after I got home from work. I couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed the format in which the book was written, it kept me pulled in and interested in what was coming next. This book makes you think about your friends and the things that you have been through with them. When I finished this book, I wanted to call all of my close friends just to let them know I was thinking of them.

Summary: Great Book !!
Review: I have never heard of Debbie Macomber and picked this book up because of the dust cover and the storyline. I never have read a book before going letter to letter but I loved it. It's a fast reading, humorously written - some parts -- beach book. I have ordered several Debbie Macomber books since and I'm looking forward to them. Read this one -- you'll love the characters !!

Review: I have never read any of Debbie Macomber's books before (I will now), but this book was absolutely wonderful. I felt like I was right there inbedded in the script. It captured my heart with saddness, happiness and anger, sometimes all at once. What a great way to write a story!!

Summary: Reading "Between Friends" "Between Friends"
Review: I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get into this book, because it was written solely in the form of written correspondence, newspaper articles, and diary entries. There isn't any spoken dialogue in the whole book. However, it worked wonderfully and I couldn't put the book down.

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.

Summary: An unlikely friendship
Review: Jillian Lawton and Leslie Adamski are lifelong best friends, despite the differences in their backgrounds. Jillian is the only child of a wealthy judge, while Leslie is one of five children of an alcoholic man and his long-suffering wife. The story is told through diary entries, newspaper articles, report cards, police reports, and letters. Although I thought this might be a distracting format, it worked well and author Macomber uses the different kinds of written material with great skill. Throughout the book, the reader sees decisions, both bad and good, which the two women make and how these decisions effect their later lives. It is an absorbing tale, and makes for a very good read.
