Very slow start with so many introductions, it's hard to keep everyone straight. The timeline is also confusing at the beginning.
**PUSH THROUGH IT** You will be rewarded with such a real, gut punch, emotional touching story.
Friendships that are deep, real & meaningful and take on so many different forms throughout life.

Anyways, what I originally came here to say is that;
1. I think the author hates men so much that she didn't know any legal way to torture them, so she decided to write this book
2. All the characters suck and I hate every and each one of them (yes, some characters including Jude, Willem, Harold, etc...oh JB included too cause how can I forget that fuck?)
3. The ending was kind of sad (only at an atomic level, okay?), so I'll give .25 for that
4. The writing is godawful (I don't wanna be too mean about this cause beauty is in the eye of beholder and this is not my beauty)
Overall, I'm happy to end this journey and excited to move onto the next thing cause I know at least it's gonna be better than whatever this was..

I LOVED the importance this book gave friendship.
āWhy wasnāt friendship as good as a relationship? Why wasnāt it even better? It was people who remained together, day after day, bound not by sex or physical attraction or money or children or property, but only by the shared agreement to keep going, the mutual dedication to a union that could never be codified. Friendship was witnessing anotherās slow drip of miseries, and long bouts of boredom, and occasional triumphs. It was feeling honored by the privilege of getting to be present for another personās most dismal moments, and knowing that you could be dismal around him in return..ā
Only knocked off 0.25 because I felt it didnāt need to be quite so long. And because I felt like Jude didnāt need quite so much trauma.
