It has been a few years since I read this book. I remember the plot etc. but can't seem to remember if there is anything that a 14 year old girl shouldn't read. Thanks in advance for any comments

So life lesson, in a way that might make a young girl think about her choices. Drugs and sex are not an integral part of this story. The story is about best friends forever....until the end. (less)

The TV version added a bunch of different inter-personal dynamics that are far from what the book portrayed. I felt the book was pretty much a clone of "Beaches" but still enjoyed it, I hated the TV series. and was really frustrated by it. The book also went in chronological order and the TV version skipped back and forth in time. I feel like the Tv series tried and failed miserably to mimic "This is Us."(less)

Did I miss the reason why Cloud and he mother had such a bad relationship? I remember towards the end that she asked Tully if she'd ever spoken to her Grandmother about the reason they didn't get along and then nothing came of that?
Dorene Schmidt No, they never said why "Cloud" and her Mom didn't get along but I bet it had something to do with her being a druggie and it seems she had Tully at a…moreNo, they never said why "Cloud" and her Mom didn't get along but I bet it had something to do with her being a druggie and it seems she had Tully at a young age. Back in the 1960s, parents didn't take well to their unmarried daughter getting pregnant, even though they didn't hold it against the baby. (less)
