I was at the library looking through the “new” section. This title caught my eye, as I am from Iowa and living in Pennsylvania. Could this really be a story from Ames, Iowa? I quickly pulled it off of the shelf. Oh, yes, indeed; I had to check this “baby” out and take it home! I loved it! 1) I have my own “Iowa” girls group — we just spent a week end in October at the N.J.shore! 2) the growing up stories were just soo close to my heart. They made me laugh outloud!! Thanks girls!! 3) Iowans have a bond like NO other!!!

On a girlfriend weekend, the book was suggested to me by a very dear friend. I put off reading it until I knew I had time to emerse myself in it. I wasn’t disappointed. There were so many things I could relate to. And I found myself hoping I was a good friend to my “best’s” like you all are.
Thank you so much for sharing your lives with other girlfriends.

Thank you for a wonderful book. I started it this week thinking that it would be a light trashy ready to offset this blasted winter cold. Instead, it has been a fantastically thought provoking book. I emailed my childhood friend who now lives on the other side of the continent to ask her to read it and have begged others to read it. I made my New Year’s resolutions last week–work out more, eat well, etc–but now I am adding one: focus on my friendships more.

Your story is so awesome and I am so jealous that I don’t have a group of childhood friends such as yours. I too am from the midwest and grew up in the very same time period as you all did. Your stories and memories did hit close to home and made me laugh and smile when remembering similar happenings in my childhood and teen years. I do have many friends from the last 47 years from different walks of life, and I am grateful for every one of them. But to have a large group such as yours with such a shared history is truly a blessing. Thank you so much for sharing your special story and God bless you all!

I am 61 years old, an avid reader, and have never in my life responded to a book I’ve read until now!! My daughter-in-law gave me your book and I have been so blessed by it…..could not put it down. It is amazing how this author has transferred your very lives onto the pages of the book and I am so glad it found its way to me!! Friends really are forever!! God bless each one of you!

Just read this book on a long train ride from Chicago to Denver and it made me wish I had close friends like these. Thanks for your story and I hope that Kelly and Angela are doing well. My thoughts are with you.
