What a wonderful book! Two stories- one past/one present. Ms. Streep made me feel she was telling it to me personally. Truly a gem.

Six years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favor to ask. Daphne hasn’t spoken one word to Drue in all this time - she doesn’t even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social media - so when Drue asks if she will be her maid-of-honor at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless.

No idea why this is a “must” summer read. Unless you are under age 30.
The narrator is a second generation Valley Girl who cannot pronounce the letter “t”. All double t’s come out as D’s. Beyond annoying.
Story line is vacuous and while the message of a positive body image is a good thing, the main character plays the fool too long.
Do not recommend.
Gave it 4 hours. That’s it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 22
In You Are the Key, Caitlin reveals imperfections aplenty: like the time she accidentally voice-texted a huge fight with her husband to her entire leadership team, or the terrifying day a disgruntled employee brought a gun to their office, or the time this #girlboss landed herself in the ER. For the first time, Caitlin also opens up about her own secret "flaw" that rocked her sense of self-worth for the better part of two decades, and her private battle to believe our scars are not sources of shame but proof of courage and prompts toward purpose.

I happen to know the author personally. As a close friend of her mother, I have watched this amazing young woman grow from a curly topped toddler to the inspirational human she is today. Her many talents were evident at a young age, as were some challenges held private for many years. To say she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside is not a cliche in this true story. I promise these few hours of your time will be worth every second. God Bless you Caitlin for sharing your truths , insights and positivity.
