When We Were Friends: A Short Story by Jane Green is a story of a friendship that feels too good to be true, but had me rooting for the friendship to not take the turn I suspected was coming. Green demonstrates that sometimes a friendship is there to help people grow to the next phase of their lives and that is okay. It's clear from the beginning the friendship is going to go awry. Just when I started to feel comfortable with the friendship, a hint would show up to remind me that relationships are messy. I really enjoyed When We Were Friends quite a bit and also liked the characters even when I didn't like their behavior.

A reminder about trusting your gut balanced with how friendships can fill (and break) your heart.
Oh my gosh!! So much emotion packed into a short story. At first, you’re cheering for Lucy for putting herself out there (let’s face it, that’s HARD!!). Then as time goes on, you start seeing red flags about Elle. This was a great short story!!
I'm glad that this was a short story, read within an hour. I found it to be quite bland.
I'm also glad that was free through Amazon First Reads.
