Pam's Book 40: My Best Friend's Girl

First of all, you may have noticed that my posts skipped from 38 to 40. That's because I looked through my old posts last night and realized I had two #20 posts, so this is really 40. Anyway.
As I stated in my last post, I asked my friend Laurie for some light, well written reads. My Best Friend's Girl is the heaviest light read I've ever read, but I couldn't put it down. I picked it up this morning after I woke up and finished it about two minutes ago.
Kamryn receives a letter from her estranged best friend Adele saying that she's dying and asking Kamryn to come see her. It turns out that she wants Kamryn to adopt her little girl Tegan after her death. This is the story of Kamryn and Tegan's new life together, with a soupcon of love and reconciliation thrown in. It is also the story of Kamryn and Adele's friendship and what went wrong.
I kept thinking about my best friend Adina as I read this book, and our own story. I'm pretty sure that any woman who reads this book won't be able to help but draw parallels in her own life and her own friendships. Because, while this book is about Kamryn learning how to be a parent and about Kamryn learning to fall in love again and learning to love herself through loving Tegan, at its core it is about the friendship between two women.
This was a beautiful story and an easy read--everything Laurie promised.
