What starts out with a slight vibe of The Secret History, Donna Tartt’s sinister novel about a privileged college clique...progresses into something more like Mitch Albom’s Tuesdays With Morrie.

Offers a rare view of male friendship, which has received far less attention than platonic closeness between women.

The book really shines when it delves into the ups and downs of its main characters.

If you are someone who appreciates the people in your life, especially those whose presence seems serendipitous, this book will feel at once fresh and familiar..

An affecting, rewarding story of an unlikely friendship that, against all seeming odds, has endured..
