Best Friends
Author: Martha Moody
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
trdodd avatar reviewed A pretty darn good beach read on + 12 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 5


I was so disappointed to see such negative reviews on this book. I really liked this book and recommend it to anyone. I thought this book was really enjoyable, well-written and absorbing.

Yes, the protagonist is annoyingly focused on her work and unmotherly. I guess I like having to search for the good in characters. Sally, however, was real and fully drawn and was someone I would totally want to befriend.

Some of Moody's turns of phrase are still whirling around my little brain.

Also, the drama? That's probably what made it a bestseller. People generally eat that sort of thing up. Me, included I guess.

A great beach read or anytime read. I really enjoyed this book and I feel badly that some of these reviews are so vitriolic. I think the author is talented.
