I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. I was entralled while I was reading it, but now several months later I'm having a hard time remembering how great it was. A great story of the intricacies of women's friendships.

I loved this book and reread it every couple of years in a quick read mood. It speaks to every friendship that has changed and left a longing for what was and a confusion as to what changed.
The writing is not the most beautiful or skilled I've ever read but the content and relatable storyline make it easy to overlook considering it isn't bad writing by any stretch. I highly recommend :)

This has been on my to-read list forever, so I finally checked it out. And it was a disappointment. What sounded like a totally "me" book was kind of boring. Bummer.

i loved this book. i felt the characters feelings, i understood this as if i were a character in the story. ive wondered what it would be like for my best friend and i to fall apart, and what it might be like 2 come back together w/ her.
i loved how it ended too. not with a happily ever after, but with hope and belief that it turned out well for all of them.

“When Cameron was fifteen, she and Sonia were best friends—so close it seemed nothing would ever come between them. Now Cameron is a twenty-nine-year-old research assistant with no meaningful ties to anyone except her aging boss, noted historian Oliver Doucet. Nearly a decade after the incident that ended their friendship, Cameron receives an unexpected letter from her old friend. Despite Oliver’s urging, she doesn’t reply. But when he passes away, Cameron discovers that he has left her with one final task: to track down Sonia and hand-deliver a mysterious package to her. The Myth of You and Me captures the intensity of a friendship as well as the real sense of loss that lingers after the end of one. Searingly honest and beautiful, it is a celebration and portrait of a friendship that will appeal to anyone who still feels the absence of that first true friend.” I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this book as much as I did. The task left by Oliver to deliver a package to Sonia leads Cameron through her memories and allows her to revisit what happened in her young adulthood, leading her to her life currently. Through her memories, Cameron is able to come to terms with both who her friend Sonia was and is and to realize who she herself was and is. Although the end of their friendship was due to something Sonia did to Cameron, Cameron is forced to realize that what she in turn did to Sonia was awful as well. I loved how Cameron also reunited with a person from both her and Sonia’s past and realized that moments in her life also meant something to someone else. At the end of my copy of this book, there were reader stories about strong female friendships that had ended for one reason or another. I found it very interesting that so many lives are shaped by stories such as these. In my own case, I haven’t had a “best friend” in my life since 7th grade, when my best friend became my worst enemy. This incident shaped my life and had a definite effect on my friendships and relationships from then on. Although the friendship between Cameron and Sonia ended completely differently than mine did, ultimately it seems that the story of a lost friendship and its effects is relatable for many.

I have to agree with another reviewer, Ainsley, who said:
"This might've had a shot at a 4 until Cameron read Oliver's letter. Then it was allll over."
Exactly how I felt.

A great story about two friends who go through a lot together and eventually end up finding out more about themselves and about life in general. I honestly didn't want this book to end where it did, but as it says several times "A happy ending isn't really the end. It's just the place where you choose to stop telling the story".
