  <default-description>When Cameron was fifteen, she and Sonia were best friends - so close it seemed nothing would ever come between them. Now Cameron is a twenty-nine-year-old research assistant with no meaningful ties to anyone except her aging boss, noted historian Oliver Doucet.

Nearly a decade after the incident that ended their friendship, Cameron receives an unexpected letter from her old friend. Despite Oliver's urging, she doesn't reply. But when he passes away, Cameron discovers that he has left her with one final task: to track down Sonia and hand-deliver a mysterious package to her. 

&lt;i&gt;The Myth of You and Me&lt;/i&gt; captures the intensity of a friendship as well as the real sense of loss that lingers after the end of one. Searingly honest and beautiful, it is a celebration and portrait of a friendship that will appeal to anyone who still feels the absence of that first true friend.</default-description>

They met as teenagers and ended up friends because they were outcasts. This is Cameron's story. She has ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38341835">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An amazing book. A story about a friendship between two girls who found safety in each other, as many friendships do. There is an intimacy between the two that is explained in such a way that makes you look back on your own personal friendships.

I've lost a best friend (on purpose), and I've wondered about what it would be like to meet her again.  How much she would have changed, or not, and how much I've changed, or not.
