3.0

For a book about a group of college friends, I found the amount of interaction between the friends disappointing. It was all about their relationships with others (mainly men and family) and about what they thought about the others in the group, but very little actual conversation. The final chapter was the most interactive - unfortunately that's where the book ends.
