Im So Happy for You: A novel about
best friends by Lucinda Rosenfeld
Review By "The Reading Reviewer" Mary Gramlich
What if your best friend, whom youve always counted on to flounder in life
and love (making your own modest accomplishments look not so bad),
suddenly starts to surpass you in every way?
Wendys best friend, Daphne, has always been dependably prone to
catastrophe. And Wendy has always been there to help. If Daphne veers
from suicidal to madly in love, Wendy offers encouragement. But when
Daphne is suddenly engaged, pregnant, and decorating a fabulous town
house in no time at all, Wendy is...not so happy for her. Caught between
wanting to be the best friend she prides herself on being and crippling
jealousy of flighty Daphne, Wendy takes things to the extreme, waging a
full-scale attack on her best friend-all the while wearing her best, Im-so-
happy-for-you smile-and ends up in way over her head.

Rosenfeld has a knack for exposing the not-always-pretty side of being
best friends--in writing that is glittering and diamond-sharp. IM SO HAPPY
FOR YOU is a smart, darkly humorous, and uncannily dead-on novel
about female friendship.
Personal Review: Im So Happy for You: A novel about best
friends by Lucinda Rosenfeld
You spend every day of your life in and out of complicated relationships.
Between boyfriends, husbands, kids and of course your mother life is
never dull. But the relationship with your best friend and by default the
countless number of people that spill over in and out of your lives makes
your relationship with your best friend one you have trouble living without
and figuring a way to survive it.
For Wendy Murman her life with best friend Daphne Uberuff is one of high
drama and constant chaos. Wendy has always been the stabilizing factor
in their life through all the ups, downs and crying phone calls in the middle
of the night from Daphne. Wendy had the regular job, a husband that
loved her and time to work on making a baby. Daphne had men in and out
of her life and countless times where life seemed to make no sense.
But then everything changes in the blink of an eye. Daphne meets the
perfect man, with a great job and she is ready to become a wife and
mother. What does Wendy do now that she is not the one running the
relationship, how does she exist if not to make things right for Daphne,
what is going to happen to their relationship if Wendy doesn't even like the
man Daphne intends to marry?
But that appears to be the least of Wendy's problems as her marriage falls
on hard times, she is unable to get pregnant, gets kicked out of her
apartment and her job appears to be at a standstill. With all the drama
now in her court Wendy finds herself unable to figure out what the next
step should be.
What do you do when your best friend turns out to not be the friend you
thought she was? Is the problem you or your friend? Can you work
through the issues or is this an unsolvable problem and perhaps one you
don't want to solve. We have all been at this crossroads and those friends
that are worth saving you fight for with everything you have but not every
relationship can be saved and we all have to figure out what is best in the
long run.
This is an eye-opening book because you really do question what Wendy
and Daphne are doing with each other and what are they doing to one
another. Are they really friends or enablers that once the problems start
arising they realize that beneath the surface there is not much to be proud

of. This is a good book and worth the time to read it because it makes you
examine yourself as much as who your friends are.
