Book Review of Best Friends Forever

Best Friends Forever
hollita34 avatar reviewed on + 21 more book reviews


I started reading Weiner when she started with "Good in Bed" back in early 2000s. While I think her writing style has improved, I am missing the 'laugh-out-loud wit' that she brought to her earlier works. She also started infusing much more serious topics in her later works - and this is no exception - rape, cancer, death, binge eating...

The characters are well-developed. While the book is predictable through most of it - there are some things that will keep you guessing. Overall, while I miss Weiner's wit and sarcasm - she delivers a compelling account of friendship that makes me want to call my old high school friends.
