Back in college Jamie and Gretchen were inseparable. As adults, they are still close, but life has
gotten in the way – specifically Jamie’s pregnancy and the Gretchen’s work on books
about country music. When her best friend dies, Jamie is asked to put together a manuscript from the notes and journals that are left behind and as Jamie begins to pour through Gretchen’s writings, she begins to wonder if she ever really knew Gretchen at all.
This book was superb. Emily Arsenault does an incredible job
balancing the 3 voices in novel –
· Gretchen’s professional articles and drafts for her manuscript
· Gretchen’s more private writings that discuss her confusion of her life an upbringing
· Jamie’s reaction to Gretchen and how it affects her life and pending family.
It’s a great book for anyone women who can appreciate the
depth of love that can occur between two friends. Highly recommended for fans of The Jane Austen book Club or
The Help!
