I loved the little secrets the Girlfriends share. There isn't anything they don't know or have not experienced that creates life's annoying panty lines, and they know how to smooth them out, whether related to love, marriage, health, beauty, food, fashion, family, attitude, or just everyday life.

What really makes this book so special is the reality that authentic long-term friendships can and do stay alive and thrive in our current throw-away, move-on culture. Facebook friends come and go, friends at work are transient, but lasting friendships are rare and to be treasured and nurtured. Read their book and learn the Girlfriends special secrets you can use to enhance and improve the quality of your own life and relationships.
