Loved it!

For being a short story, I felt such depth from it. It has a great message, and I want more!!!

I feel like short stories can be harder to write than a novel sometimes (coming from a non-writer) just because you have to tell a story, develop a character, and get a point across in a concise manner. Many short stories I read, leave me wanting. Jane Green hit the nail on the head. Every woman in her mid 20s+ will be able to relate to the fast and fleeting friendship found in this book. As someone who went through a friend break up two years ago, the feeling of loss described was so accurately heartbreaking.
