Best Friends Forever is an interesting and sincere look at friendships between women, leaving one with a hopeful and reassuring feeling that there are people out there with the same doubts and concerns. Irene Levine does a great job of dissecting and explaining the different stages and levels of female friendships, reminding the reader that it is only normal for one to lose and gain friends regularly throughout one’s life. Every woman can relate to the feeling of rejection and despair which comes with the ending of a friendship, but Levine helps explain that these feelings are not only normal but necessary in growing and maturing through the course of ones life. Best Friends Forever made me feel like there is a connection between all women.
