Books for Bridesmaids Ideas

I have a few gifts for my bridesmaids already but I thought that it would be nice to give them a book as well. Looking for books on friendship mostly... any suggestions?

I already have "The Girls of Ames" for one and possibly one of the Post Secret books for another... 

My sisters are my maids of honor so if anyone has read a great book about sisters I could use the help

This is really corny but what about finding a kids book.  One of those "What is a sister?"

Do they LIKE to read? If not, I'd skip it. If they don't normally read for pleasure, a book would not be a good gift for them.

If they do, why don't you just buy them a book in a genre they enjoy reading instead of fitting it to a sister theme? I'm an avid reader, but I prefer nonfiction, true crime, and murder mysteries. A book about what it means to be a sister might make me go "awww that's sweet" when you handed it to me, but it would promptly get taken to a used book store so someone else who likes those books could enjoy. Just a thought...

Yes. They all LIKE to read for pleasure.

Maybe I should have explained a little better. I am having a destination wedding on the beach. I am looking for book recommendations for a good beach read. 

A friend gave me a book that was a true story of 11 friends and their 40 year friendship (The Girls of Ames) and I thought that it would be a great book to give to a few of my bridesmaids. I am just asking if anyone has any other really good books that they've read.

Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood (And all Rebecca Wells books, really).

Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah.

But I still stand by my earlier advice. Find out what kinds of books they personally like to read. I enjoyed this read, but not everyone will.
