The Girls From Ames by The Girls From Ames and Jeffrey Zaslow

This is an awesome book.  It is about 11 girls from Ames Iowa and their friendship thru the years.  They are now in their forties and are still close friends. They have been thru love and loss together and are the stronger for it.

This book will make you laugh until you cry and then just make you cry.  It is a read for every woman who has ever had a close friend or a group of friends.

In The Woods by Tana French

This book is about a little girl who gets murdered and the detective assigned to her case was also involved in a strange experience in his past.  Detective Rob Ryan as a twelve year old went in to the wood to play with his two friends and hours later was the only one found.  He was found clutching a tree and blood in his shoes.  The case was never solved and years later a little girl was murdered in the same woods and rob was in charge of the case.  

This book has a good story within a story but the older story never gets resolved with any sense of satisfaction.  The story in the whole is good but lacks something.  It could be so much better.
