"The friendship is irresistible and, ultimately, terrible. The book is neither." Dismissal as poetry.

Thanks for the warning. I was in after your first couple of paragraphs but it sounds like the book isn't worth the effort.

A few noticeable anachronisms: Spanx is mentioned twice despite not existing until 2000. In the early 80's sections, they pick up a prescription for Zoloft (released in 1991). Alex Trebek is an important childhood memory though it seems like the Jeopardy-watching scene ought to take place before he started hosting in 1984.
