At the moment, this book is only available as a PDF if you visit the author's website and enter your e-mail address to ask her to send it to you. She has two other books she's published, the Super Mom series, but this is a book she wrote before those and still hopes to have published some day. It's a pretty simple friendship story, about two girls who became friends in middle school, when they needed each other, and the changes in their friendship as the grow up. It culminates in a New Year's Eve party for the year they will both turn 30. It's a sweet little story, and I enjoyed reading it, though one of the main characters, Emily, grated on my nerves quite a bit (and yet I understood her in some others). In some ways, it's a tribute to the facts that nothing ever turns out the way you thought it would, and that friendship always takes work, but friendship can endure. I don't know - it's certainly not quite as polished as it probably could be if professionally published, but it's still a much better book than many I've read that have been professionally published. And most importantly, it has a heart.

Reading the first pages of this book, I was immediately reminded of my own teenage years, and friends that I had who bore a striking resemblance to Emily in this book. The story is full of metaphors as the characters comment on numerous times. In short it was an enjoyable read that would provide much for discussion in a book group.
