British literature summaries - Short summary - The Code of the Woosters Pelham Grenville P. OK, actually, it was the prom episode of Gossip Girl. In 2009, like all pop-culture obsessives, we were dedicated viewers of this trashy teen soap opera set in the world of wealthy Manhattan private schools.

Many readers who have had their own highs and lows with close pals through the years are likely to relate to the experiences Sow and Friedman describe in their lively joint memoir (told from a “we” perspective but sometimes referring to each other by name, in the third person). The prologue details a low point, marked by awkward silences and the authors’ frustration with each other, when they realized that “even deep, lasting friendships like ours need protection - and, sometimes, repair.” But the work also points out that a big friendship, like a big romantic relationship, requires serious maintenance if you want it to last a lifetime. That led to their podcast, Call Your Girlfriend, a weekly gabfest about pop culture (and anything else that springs to mind), and now, their new book, Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close, about the life-affirming wonderfulness of fulfilling nonromantic connections like theirs.

The pool playing parts bored me though, then again I'm not really interested in the game. I kind of wish I knew more about Bridget though, because I don't understand her. The characters are likable, and yay for a really cute romance. I felt sad for her AND myself, too relatable with the same problem I guess, but she's much better at handling it.Īnyway, I really enjoyed this book. Maybe because me and Chloe are having a same problem, much less dramatic but still really depressing for me, so it was actually quite sad and disturbing. I don't know if it was my reading speed or what, I think it's a light and fast paced book, and not exactly what I would call a fun book. I finished this in around 3 hours because I wanted to finish and return it before school's out for the day, but I guess I read too fast, I ended up with nothing to do for a few hours. |
