Customer Reviews

Changed the way I looked at friendships

I don't think I fully understood what the true meaning of having a "best friend" was until after reading this book. It gives such insight into what it means to be and to have a Best Friend. It explores the concepts of unconditional love and true acceptance of the people we call our Best Friends. This would be a great book to give to the person in your life that holds the honor of being your Best Friend.

Nice Keep sake

This is a great keep sake to share with your Best Friend or as a table top book to add to your collection. The saying and verses are touching and the stories are reminders of what friendship is like or should be like! I bought this for each of best friends and they cherish it more than anything.

Give to a friend on their birthday or for the holidays

I have read all three books cover to cover. In addition to being nice books to look at, they tell compelling stories. By the time I finished, I was misty-eyed and feeling like I needed to reconnect to the friends I've had for the past 10-15 years. Even though the same phrase was repeated throughout the book,"My friend is one who I can be real with; someone I've told things I've never anyone else before." in each case, it feels fresh and new due to the unique circumstances each friend met. I was glad to see men, people with disabilities, Asians, blacks and hispanics, teenagers, and young children just starting to learn about friendship. It's really an inclusive book and I hope they do another trilogy: Fathers and Sons, Brothers, Couples.

beautiful,touchingand inspiring

I especialy loved the story about the two younger girls Greta and Satya. I am so glad they found eachother I understand how hard it is to be a teenager in this world and what a comfort to know you not only have a friend to talk to but a best friend to share and relate with. The girls were so young and inspiring I wish I had a friendship like theirs when I was younger.What a captivating book even better than the first two.

This book makes you truly appreciate your best friend

I have both Sisters and Mothers and Daughters by the authors of Best Friends, and I have to say, this lives up to the first two. I bought it for my best friend, Elise, for Christmas. The pictures are captivating, the stories enchanting, and my only complaint is that Elise and I weren't included in it! Anyone who has a "soul mate" best friend will appreciate this book.
