Some things only girlfriends understand. Girlfriends understand that a balanced meal can include a diet drink and a fudge brownie a la mode. Girlfriends understand not to trust dressing-room mirrors or bathroom scales, and they understand we need each other as mirrors, cushions, cheering squads, and ever-ready chocolate co-conspirators. This book is for all those great, giving, girlfriends--the ones whose ears, clothes' closets, refrigerators, and hearts are always open.
