WHEN TRAGEDY OCCURS, FOUR FRIENDS COME TOGETHER IN A BITTERSWEET REUNION AND ARE FORCED TO CONFRONT THE FALSEHOODS AND ALSO EMBRACE THE TRUTH IN THEIR LIVES. On college graduation day, Grace and her friends—Liz, Tess, and Lovey—agreed to keep a journal that would make the rounds. They vowed to always be truthful. For three decades, the journal has been circulating, carrying stories of Liz’s missions against social injustices, Tess’s successful career and home life, and Lovey’s fairy-tale marriage to a former pro football player-turned-executive. As for Grace, she never intends to deceive her seemingly content friends. She can’t bear to admit how her life has spiraled downward and the dismal realities she faces everyday. So at first, she simply embellishes the truth, omitting a few details from her entries. But over the years, one exaggeration leads to another until most of the life she has written is fiction. Now Grace is extremely ill. Alone and desolate with nothing to lose, she reaches out to her friends. Reunited, they help her face the battle of her life while embarking on the most important struggle of their own lives—the fight for honesty and friendship.… (altro)

Fantastic storyline, amazing characters, great plot, emotional and heartwarming. A must read! ( )
  loubigfish | Jan 22, 2011 |
This is the first book I’ve read by this author. Four women meet in college, become close friends, and part ways when college is over. But they agree to keep in touch by writing about their lives in a “circle journal” that each woman updates, round-robin style, and sends on to the next. Over the years, the life stories of all four emerge in the journal, until a crises forces one of them to suggest a reunion.

I found it hard to like Grace, from whose point of view the story is told. Grace has threatened the relationship with her friends by inventing and documenting a fictitious life for herself in the journal, and she is faced with having to come clean, first to herself, then to her friends at the reunion. Easier to like were the other three characters, Amanda, Tess and Liz. Yet none of the three have been completely honest in the journal, either, and - like Grace - each must face up to the realities of her life.

This is a story of long-standing friendship, understanding, self-assessment, and ultimately, forgiveness. A worthwhile and enjoyable read. ( )
