The Art of Forgetting

Friendship stories are the best, especially of best friends who are so different. I thought the storyline was interesting but the story was written in a choppy fashion. Most of the story doesn't center on the friendship but rather with the guy they both had an interest with and what happens when she breaks the pact and makes contact with him. I didn't like the way the storyline was going; expecting the reconciliation process to be much more interesting than what it was. Highly disappointed since I really didn't feel loose ends were tied up clearly or meaningfully. This supposed best friend does not leave me feeling sorry for her, memory loss or not, it just leaves me to feel she is just as manipulative as she was before the accident. Yet she gets away with what she does because of her new condition. Makes me feel despicable that their best friendship continues!
