Enjoyable

This is a nice easy story. I love the fact that it's friends that have known each other and loved each other for a long time. One of my friends has always said all friends are good friends but those that have known you the longest know you through everything.

Inspiring, uplifting & charming with friendships

It was such an inspiring uplifting book, with true caring friendships through tough, as well as the fun times. Most people can truly relate to the characters. Beautifully well written story again.

Fun characters living in a great setting in times gone by

Loved how sad losses and life events were supported and changed by friendships new and old. and sharing of gifts and talents that helped each other through.

A fun light read about friendship and growing older and everything else that’s fabulous!

I enjoyed the storyline about friendship that last the test of time. The audio version was just perfect, bringing to life all of the characters.

Friendship

I loved the way the friends supported each other through thick and thin. It’s hard getting older and having your children get busy with their own lives. It can be lonely.
