I have to say I enjoyed this novel. It was a fresh, original story that was just what I needed to read. The characters of Ellen and Unity I loved throughout the entire book. Their banter was great, and you can really feel their genuine friendship. I love the idea of the ‘friendship list’ because it adds a great twist to the storyline. The list helps these characters grow, and Susan Mallery did a phenomenal job developing them.
The Friendship List will have you laughing, covering your eyes, and crying. It’s a novel you do not want to miss and one of Susan Mallery’s best yet. I recommend checking out this book. You will not be disappointed. I was not and cannot tell you enough what a surprised find this read turned out to be. I will be rereading it!
