I'm So Happy For You by Lucinda Rosenfeld
I
What I love about it: I love the e-mails that trickle through the group of girlfriends. Reading the emails back and forth was funny and real. I love how everyone spoke nicely and very PC in the email but were catty afterward. Very real life. As much as I despise each character at times, I also liked them. You can relate to all the women in the book at one time or another. I just had trouble figuring out if they were friends or foes.
Feeling envious over a friend's good fortune is ridiculous to me. If you are "true" friends with someone jealousy never arises. It is a wasted emotion anyway.
Women's friendship should be a healthy place to fall. Each women in my life that I call friend, is someone I love and respect and would only want good for. I would never wish someone well and secretly wish differently. Grrrr...
I've been reading reviews on this book and can't wait to read the book.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your assessment of true friendship; real friends would always be happy for their friends good fortune!!
