I forgot that it was cancer in the book.

I was about Bertie‘s age when I got my first diagnosis (breast rather than ovarian). I‘ve also recently had to watch from afar as a friend went through hospice and death (hers was much more aggressive than mine).

This book is a treasure. I love Cee Cee and Bertie so much. Rereading the book, I did have Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey in my head, which was a delight. (continued below)

bookseller_cate I love how this book celebrates women‘s friendships, but doesn‘t shy away from how we can hurt each other, both accidentally and purposefully. 6y

I adored this movie as a preteen and never knew it was a book. Loved reading about the friendship between Cee Cee and Bertie that starts on the Atlantic City boardwalk and lasts through adulthood and follows them through the ups and downs of love and loss. I will admit since singing is so much a part of the story that the movie adds that element and this is the rare case where the movie is at least equal to the book. #beachread #booked2018

Newcastle beach is my front yard but I also love Mookerwa where I spent my childhood summers waterskiing, I love to swim but conditions are rarely good enough for that ie. warm water and gentle waves so I am going to say sunbathe with a book and sunnies, picnic hopefully with champagne (Much more elegant), potato salad. I hate store bought macaroni as it makes me sick. RV I am a glamping person unfortunately my partner and step kids are campers!

3. The family is heading to Florida for a week the day after my son graduates high school later this month. Plan to take a boatload of books and chill to the music of the waves (and try to avoid sunburn! 😳).

If I'm not reading, you'll usually find me on the nearest beach...just strolling by the water, watching the waves and carousing with the sea life: sandpipers, sand crabs, seals, starfish. Sand dollars are my favorites. I often catch them walking around and sometimes, they'll even smile my way.

The movie Beaches has long been one I love. I absolutely cried at the end, and Cee Cee Bloom was a role made for Bette Midler.

While the book has some differences, I still really enjoyed it. As a loner who has lost a few best friends (they aren't dead, I just realized how that sounded) along the way, I wonder if I'd have the patience and strength to be there at the end.

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled This movie slayed me when I was 13!! Need to read this 7y

I can't believe I'm the first to post about this book. It's one of my favorite best friend books. I hear there will be a movie remake with Idina Menzel!!

bookishkai Oh boy, not sure how I feel about a remake. The original is such a huge part of my teen years, but I do adore Idina Menzel, so maybe? Hate to say, though, I didn't care for the book. 8y
