good friends

I really enjoyed this book. The author does an excellent job of developing the main characters, Chrissy and Margaret, 2 senior citizens that you will enjoy getting to know. I could relate more to Margaret, someone who is friends to all and stays out of controversy in the community, while Chrissy is very involved and outspoken, sometimes showing frustration towards Margaret when she doesn't get involved. Even though these friends are very different they are very loyal to each other. San Francisco brings a nice element to the book with it's diversity of people and the author's knowledge of this diversity and culture is evident. This is a good read.
