 It is through their alternating letters that readers learn how Tara and Elizabeth grow and change – and how they keep their friendship strong, even if it is long-distance.This book shows how hard a friendship can be when a person can't see her friend, but suggests that for someone who truly cares about something and works hard for it, anything can happen.The "Denver Post" called it a "classic example of an Odd Couple collaboration", given the mismatch of the characters and their writing styles.
