when i first came across my book, i thought who would want to read a book like that? why would someone want to read a book about broken friendships that never get resolved? how inspiring could that be? but the more i kept reading the book jacket and the intro, the more i found myself interested. i've been in similar situations before. i was curious to hear another's experience.
i found this topic to be different-- something that was very common, yet rarely ever written. it's compiled of short stories of different women whose friendships have gone wrong or just completely evaporated which i found myself connecting to instantly. i've been guilty of doing the same ploys and have also felt like a victim in other situations. however unfortunate the conclusion may be, the stories were written so brutally honest, i really appreciated it.
