Title: An unlikely friendship
Review: Jillian Lawton and Leslie Adamski are lifelong best friends, despite the differences in their backgrounds. Jillian is the only child of a wealthy judge, while Leslie is one of five children of an alcoholic man and his long-suffering wife. The story is told through diary entries, newspaper articles, report cards, police reports, and letters. Although I thought this might be a distracting format, it worked well and author Macomber uses the different kinds of written material with great skill. Throughout the book, the reader sees decisions, both bad and good, which the two women make and how these decisions effect their later lives. It is an absorbing tale, and makes for a very good read.
