Description During Books The Myth of You and Me
When Cameron was fifteen, she and Sonia were best friends—so close it seemed nothing would ever come between them. Now Cameron is a twenty-nine-year-old research assistant with no meaningful ties to anyone except her aging boss, noted historian Oliver Doucet.Nearly a decade after the incident that ended their friendship, Cameron receives an unexpected letter from her old friend. Despite Oliver’s urging, she doesn’t reply. But when he passes away, Cameron discovers that he has left her with one final task: to track down Sonia and hand-deliver a mysterious package to her.
The Myth of You and Me captures the intensity of a friendship as well as the real sense of loss that lingers after the end of one. Searingly honest and beautiful, it is a celebration and portrait of a friendship that will appeal to anyone who still feels the absence of that first true friend.

This is not a book for adults - it belongs in the "Teen Angst" section of the library. The main character is stuck in perpetual high school mode.This piece of fiction reads nearly like memoir. Early bonds of female friendship often hit bumpy roads. Well, maybe all. But females share deeper secrets, the amount of trust and reveal more complex and seemingly without reservation. So this tale caught my interest as in that I am, female. And I have trusted and been betrayed. Though never to the complicated extent as this plot and never so involved and yet detached.Great four main characters and the plot will pull you along. You can't guess its
This book was surprisingly wonderful! I definately reccommend it to those that like beautifully written, emotionally telling stories. It's an introspective work about love, relationships, loss, pain, anger, lonliness, disappointment, happiness, change, identity, and just plain old trying to be a person in this often intense world (Did I forget anything? I'm sure I did!). I don't want to over-hype it, as I went into it with low expectations, which likely lent to my glowing review. I was most
The main characters went to Vanderbilt, so that was fun.
I thoroughly enjoyed "The Myth of You and Me." It was the kind of story that had me eagerly going from chapter to chapter to find out what happens next. It's the tale of two best friends, who had a falling out and how that shapes their lives and their eventual reunion.
I have to say I wasn't sure how I felt about this book while I was reading it. I never really felt much for the main character. Maybe we aren't suppose to really like her. She shut herself off from so many people, even her own parents, only allowing in a person here and there. And I found her to be really gloomy even when the moment didn't warrant it. I also think aspects of Cameron's journey to find Sonia were interesting but some of it seemed too easy. All the people in Sonia's life seemed a
I just finished this book that came highly recommended to me by Laura and she was right. Amazing book. Very lyrically written....it grips you and you really start to feel what Cameron is feeling. Even what Sonia is feeling. Every girl has had a friendship like these two have and this book exemplifies what that's like. A friendship that starts early where you become like sisters (or even more than that) like "one" and then something happens. Something occurs as it always does in life to rip the
