This book is, ultimately, about the bond of friendship that spans decades. These two best friends have their issues, but they always come back together, for better or for worse. I was attracted to this book by the idea of the "betrayal" that tests their friendship. That betrayal doesn't happen until almost page 400, and yet I was enthralled the entire time. And yes, I cried at the end. Extremely emotional and heartfelt, and an ode to BFFs around the world.
