Book Review: Friendship for Grown-Ups by Lisa Whelchel



I recieved a copy of Lisa Whelchel-Cauble (Blair from "The Facts of Life") free from Thomas Nelson Publishers in return for an honest review.

I enjoyed watching The Facts of Life growing up (YES! I am a "child of the 80s). To watch "Blair" on the screen, you would think she had it all together. Well, Blair might have, but Lisa didn't...not where friendships came into play.

This book is a fairly easy read and Lisa opens up about how hard it was for her to have true friendships growing up. The book is not a "how-to" book...Lisa just opens up about how she struggled to find those lasting friendships.

Overall, the book was good. She did quote from other authors a lot. I enjoyed it, I guess, because, as I said i AM a child of the 80s and I was interested in what Lisa had to say. Others may not find her easy writing style and "storytelling" as interesting or useful.

I would recommend the book to a friend...but probably only adult women because I don't think "most" guys would "get" some of the deep emotional parts.

Until next I type...
GOD BLESS
