You can't pick up a book with a title that can be abbreviated to the acronym BFF and think it's going to be the read of a lifetime. It's not. Although you might recognize the author from In Her Shoes, which was made into a movie starring Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette. I was telling Darr the other day that the problem with reading really, really good books is that it makes the bad ones seem even worse. The clichés, the flowery prose, the contrived moments. It's all too horrible when you compare to something truly great. But, on it's own, the book was interesting enough for me to read it to the end. And it's still light year's better than this one book Darr had me read even though the ending was so incredibly awful it soured the rest of the book. (If I ever remember the title I'll share it so you can not read it and spend the rest of your life thinking about how bad that ending truly was.)
