Really enjoyed the read despite the genre being not something I read very often. The only thing I didn't really like was the insinuation that the drugs and the alcohol they were consuming were solving all their problems because they were doing things they normally wouldn't which created a reason to talk about it and then making up. Except for that it was a great book and I loved the message that even though a friend group could grow apart because of differing life circumstances, that doesn't have to result in the group not being friends altogether anymore but just that they won't see each other as often and that they will create very different memories than they did in their youth. Also I loved the revelation about not being happy with your job and having to find out what you really want to do for yourself and not what other people expect you to do with your job and life in general. This message really hit home for me.
