This is a great book about a group of five friends. The friend who was the glue that held them all together dies unexpectedly, and while the others try to untangle the messes of their lives, they reflect on what she meant to them and what she brought to their lives. Sounds soppy and introspective, but its not. The characters are lifelike, the situations realistic, and yes, everyone ends up with a hopeful, if not happy ending, but by that time, you are rooting for them.
