Standard chick-lit and a perfect beach read. Allie, Olivia & Noah were best friends all through school until a misunderstanding drove Allie and Olivia apart. Now it's twenty years later and time for the reunion, Allie is twenty pounds overweight, just found her longtime boyfriend in bed with the paper saleswoman and her best friend Noah is spending all his free time with a new girlfriend. The story is told in mortifying flashbacks to high school, and I loved all the references to 80's beauty products, music and teen idols. There aren't any great surprises in this story, but it's a fun, light read. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a sequel to this book that explores Olivia's story more. ( )

I loved this book. I am a beauty product junkie, which is what led me to this book, but even better, she dropped the names of many 70s/early 80s products, which took me down memory lane. It jumps back and forth in time, but it's easy to follow, and there is a depth that I didn't expect. My only complaint was that the 70s product name dropping went just a bit too far sometimes ( )

Pitch perfect Chick Lit. This had everything that makes it a perfect read for the summer with believable characters and plot. Well, OK, it could happen. I don't know if it ever did, but most romances don't have evil female lawyers in them. I can actually believe this might be true though. ( )
