Best Friends Forever : Interesting Life

A book by Jennifer Weiner, "Best Friends Forever," is a book that I just finished today, and I've got to say that it is the best book that i've read in months. A huge portion, half of the book, was flashbacks the main character had. At first, I didnt like it. Then, i got used to the form of this book, and gradually, fell in love with it. Flashbacks, are important, like we learned in our English classes. And in this book, it clearly shows just how important the flashbacks are. Also, it brings back readers back and forth between the past and the present, and the flashbacks, of course has some sort of relationship with events happening in current times. So, perhaps, the meaning of flashbacks are that life is the same throughtout. It may mean that life is plain and simple, just the reoccuring events, conflicts, resolutions at different places, times, and with different people throughout life. Perhaps if one read this interpretation, s/he may think: "Then life must be boring and meaningless." However, I think that is the part where it spices things up. You get to go through many different conflicts, and in different time and place with different people. Also, each time, you may get different resolution to problems. That is where life is interesting.
