A true love story at it's best. The friendships and relationships in this book are true and lasting. I didn't want this book to end. I fell in love with all the characters.

(Just a small footnote, the movie was a horrible let down. It did nothing to capture the real sorrow, love, and friendship of the book.)
The review of this Book prepared by Darcey




This is the story of a girl who falls in love with a young, handsome doctor. She is innocent and really kind. I think she is somewhat awkward about her looks. She has two best friends, Nan and Eve. Nan sleeps with her boyfriend, Jack and pretends that the child that she is expecting is Jack's one when she was actually pregnant when she slept with Jack. Jack betrays her two times in the book by sleeping with two different women.
