I loved the movie and I love the book! And....I think the movie was better.

Two women share a friendship that spans over 30 years, survives past marriages and careers, and all of life's ups and downs.

As I got near the end of the book, I was saying in my head "don't cry, don't cry, don't cry". Then, too late! I was crying.

An excellent film, now over thirty years old but with many issues still relevant today. About a lasting friendship between two very different girls. Bette Midler is believably selfish in her ambitions as a singer, yet she's quite attached to the wealthy (and very attractive) Hillary (Barbara Hershey), who is a lawyer. There are arguments and differences in their friendship, in particular over a man, but also over their different values.

Very well made, mostly in flashback scenes (with some superb casting for the eleven-year-old versions of the main actresses). If the ending is a tad predictable, it's still done well, and quite poignant.

Recommended to adults or teens.

I wouldn't have read this book unless I had agreed to for book group. It's not a good book group read because it is too predictable.
