I am so in love with Macomber's Between Friends so far! This novel is different from the other novels by her that I have read in the past, those of which I think can usually be seen as neat little happy ending stories inside cute Hallmark movie towns. However, right from the beginning this novel appears to dive so much deeper, following the lives of two best friends, Lesley and Jillian, and their journey from young girls to grown/aging women. This novel tackles topics such as woman's rights & birth control, the Vietnam War, love, cancer, and so much more. This novel is also written in the form of journal entries and letters, which I found to be quite different. I thought that this letter correspondence would make me feel disconnected from the characters, but I am actually so absorbed in their lives and thought processes, that putting it down to type this little blurb is painful!
I can't wait for this review! Happy Reading!
