Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Eleven childhood friends from Ames, Iowa, now in their forties, keep in close touch with e-mails and reunions where they share news of childbirth, jobs, marriages, divorces, and one death. Through Zaslow’s writing and Andrea Gallo’s voicing, each one emerges as a distinct persona, be it sexual adventurer, overbearing parent, or modest beauty.” AudioFile
“An in-depth look at the enduring bond of friendship among a tightly knit group of middle-class Midwestern women born in the early 1960s…A heartwarming account, ripe for discussion in women’s book clubs and women’s studies classes.” Kirkus Reviews
