This book is great!

Susan Branch is wonderful. Her illustrations are so fun to look at and marvel over, and her hand written words are so uplifting that you will want to read this book over and over again. It makes a perfect gift for a special friend. I found the various quotes scattered throughout the book very timely and right-on.

What a treat!

This book is absolutely delightful! I started reading Susan's books about three years ago, and have followed her progress over the years. Her drawings are beautiful, and her writing style is friendly, sunshiney and full of vigor. The recipes in Girlfriends are very tasty, and health-conscious to boot. I was able to talk to Susan in person just last week at a book signing, and she is a beautiful, charming woman with incredible personal style. This book gives you reason to reflect on why you love your girlfriends, how you spend your time with them, and why it's so incredible to be a woman!

How would you describe what your girlfriends mean to you?

I have all of Susan Branch's books, but she has outdone herself this time. All of her books, including this one, are filled with beautiful illustrations and wonderful recipes. Reading this book really makes you think of all the girlfriends you've had in your life, and how each one is so special. You'll remember your best childhood friend and all the silly things you used to do together, as well as those friends you gained as an adult that have stood with you through good times and bad. I purchased three of these books (one for me, one for my oldest and dearest friend, and one for my best friend) and plan to buy them for all of my other girlfriend's birthdays. Women of all ages will love this book. It is a great gift that really expresses why our girlfriends are so important to us. You'll find yourself laughing and crying as you read along. Girls rule!

Susan Branch does it again!

I love Susan Branch's books and I wasn't disappointed by her latest project. This would make a great gift for your best girlfriends. It is a book that celebrates life, love, food and the special friendships that women have.
