Friendships have been my primary relationships throughout my adult life, so I had high hopes for this book, which were not met. The majority of authors included in the collection are writers for fitness/parenting publications and their letters generally felt like they could be published in any of those magazines. There were a lot of letters from friends who'd been done wrong and those voices were hard for me to hear for many reasons: the quality of the writing itself, the frequent passive aggres...more
This is a collection of letters from women writers to other females. Some letters are sweet and sentimental, some are filled with rage without a legitimate reason.
Women are complicated.
What is fascinating for me is that one of the stories reminisces about when the women were friends at the same college I went to and in the same DORM! The cultural things they talk about seem to indicate it was around the same time period, so I am racking my brain to try to remember the author (whose name is Jen...more

This book was my first attempt at an ereader - which I've been reading from Google eReader, so I can support my favorite indie bookstore. It was a perfect book to have in your phone when you're waiting at the doc's office, or at the airport, etc. The book was a collection of letters that were written to friends, ex-friends, colleagues, running buddies, invisible friends, mommy friends (you get the picture)to expose what hasn't been said in those relationships. The goal was not necessarily to sen...more
While I enjoyed many of the letters in this book, reading them as an entire collection was surprisingly depressing. It began to feel less like the celebration of female friendship I hoped it would be and more like a place to vent and hold grudges about failed relationships. Not that these women don't have reasons to vent; I was just looking for something a little more uplifting. I can accept bitter-sweet, but the just plain bitter is a little hard to swallow. So I guess, in retrospect, it's a ve...more

I read an excerpt from this in a magazine and used a quote from it. It was about two women who both had cancer and how they were the only ones in the world who really, truely understood each other. It made me wish I had a friend like that.

A quick read - fun to think about frienships - ones that are still great, and ones that ended badly, and ones that just slipped away. Interesting perspective on what the other half of a friendship might be thinking. :)
Loved this book. It made me think of the friends I've made along the way - the ones I love, the ones I lost, and my role in maintaining those relationships. Such a great reminder of how much you really need your girlfriends.
I liked some of the stories so much, but others were pretty boring and forced.

I'm the editor of three anthologies, most recently P.S. What I Didn't Say: Unsent Letters to Our Female Friends (Seal Press, October 1). I created a website for the book, where you can find excerpts and send in your own letter to your female friend...
