The Girls from Ames



I just finished reading my book for bookclub. It was The Girls from Ames by Jeffrey Zaslow. It was a quick read! It's not your typical book where there is a plot, a climax and an ending. It was more stories being told by 10 friends who have been friends for 40 years. It really made me think of some of my friendships, especially those that I've had since childhood. They joke in the book that they don't remember specifically meeting each other, they just always were there. I have often thought the same thing about my friendships. I don't remember meeting them, they have always been there.

  1. I have a first memory with you, but you are right - you were always just there. I can't remember when you weren't! All I can say, is too bad for Andrew that you and I were friends in 1st grade. His brownies were never the same.
