I was very excited to see the title of this book as an adult I think we all struggle with friendships from time to time. The concept of the book could have been great, however most of the time I felt like the author's were preaching about God. Every other sentence is about God and quotes from the bible. I am a spiritual person but I bought this book to learn about the value of a friendships not how I can incorporate God more into my life. Waste of money!
The PERFECT book to give to your girlfriends!!

I absolutely LOVED this book!! Erin Smalley and Carrie Oliver have done an amazing job explaining the different kinds of friendships that women have and how we handle each friendship. I appreciate the fact that they both have shared some very personal stories about both healthy and failed friendships in their lives. I enjoyed this book so much that I have ordered a few more to give to my closest girlfriends. If you have ever been hurt or struggled through a broken friendship, you have got to read this book! It will help you view your friendships differently and possibly bring some healing. It did for me, anyway. It will also make you value and treasure your closest friends all the more. You won't regret purchasing this book. :)
