In books, friends can be a great way to help the reader get to know the H&H better. Sometimes they have such strong personalities or backstory that they threaten to take over the book. These are characters that often end up with a book of their own.

This got me to thinking about friends in my own life. Some, I’ve known seen I’ve been a teenager, some are more recent acquisitions. What’s interesting is how these friendships change. There are some women that I used to feel very close to….but now it seems we don’t have much in common. I’m not sure if it’s me that has changed or them. I like it that we’ve shared so much over the years, but lately I’ve been wondering if it’s worth the effort to try to keep the relationship going. Have any of you faced that problem? How did you resolve it? Any insights would be appreciated!
