Have you remained close friends with your best friend from high school? Even though most people would like to, that’s not always the case. Friends from Home by Lauryn Chamberlain got me thinking about friends from high school. You see your friends every day at school. Then, graduation comes and each person takes their own path in life. Life events happen and many times friends drift apart. Ms. Chamberlain tackles this issue with Jules O’Brien and Michelle Davis in Friends from Home.
Jules and Michelle have been best friends since third grade. Now they are in their mid-twenties and living hundreds of miles apart. Michelle is getting married and has asked Jules to be her maid of honor. As they prepare for the wedding, the ladies begin spending more and more time together causing them to realize just how far apart they’ve grown. Their differences lead to conflict.
I enjoyed this book. The characters were well-developed, and the theme of long-term friendship was well written. I’d recommend this book to anyone who has lost touch with a childhood friend, or anyone who still has a close relationship with their childhood friend.
