I was quite disappointed after watching the tv show. Their friendship is not near as nice and I don’t even truly understand how they are friends in the book. They don’t communicate and hold resentment over each other constantly. I liked the ending though, the last 50 pages truly showed the best in their relationship and if the whole book were like that I would be OBSESSED with this book.

Really incredible coming of age story and a true story about friendship, adolescence, and becoming adults. I’m in love with both Tully and Kate, though at times I was frustrated with their miscommunication. I wish the ending wasn’t so rushed.

From the beginning you knew their friendship split at some point and hopefully it would become rekindled… but once we got to that split it lasted about a chapter or two long. I also didn’t feel satisfied with the ending of Tully’s mom’s story - what happened to her? We never got to understand why she left Tully all those times.

This is the story of an unlikely friendship between two girls. Honestly it works because one's a giver and one's a taker and yet they need each other. The book was just okay for me..... Too many bedroom scenes, too many unoriginal story lines, and what the one friend did to the other to break apart their friendship is something only a truly clueless person would do.
