... an homage to female friendships — the ones often taken for granted but most needed during tough times. The banter amongst these friends will make you want to text the best friend you haven’t spoken to in weeks, just to remind them that you’re thinking of them. While all of the women bring diverse backgrounds and identities (including Melissa’s Jewish heritage), they all reach a common consensus: being a woman is hard. It’s easy to catch glimpses of oneself in any of them.
Friedland adeptly captures the conflicting feelings of excitement and dread one feels ahead of a reunion, as well as the weird in-betweenness of early middle age. Though frequently light and funny (the ‘90s references come fast and furious), the book doesn’t shy away from heavier themes.
Funny, heartwarming, and relatable, The Most Likely Club proves to be another success for Friedland..
... delightful.
