2.0

Unfortunately I wasn’t upset when this book ended. It was predictable and very slow. I think it idealized a friendship that was toxic with one friend repeatedly walking over someone else and taking advantage of her loss and need for love under the guise of being a good friend.

A look at female friendship in the 1960s and 70s between two women from very different upbringings, and an attempt at reconciliation ten years after a dark night led to ending their friendship. I enjoyed the dual timeline and the musical references from those years. Was a little slow at times and the characters could have been fleshed out a little more.
