There are some friends in my past, from high school and college, that I really miss. I don't know why I lost touch with them but I did. I am talking about people I feel that marked me in an indelible way and yet somehow situations shifted and we were no longer in touch. This was before cell phone...

This is the second book I've read now and honestly, while the writing is good, the stories are depressing and unfinished. I don't need a "And they lived happily ever after" ending but I'm once again left feeling like, "That's it?"

I am speachless and total emotonal wreck! This book stands side by side with Jellicoe Road on my top 10 books I've read this year. I know I'll be thinking about it for the rest of the week (and my life, actually).
