I really, really loved this book. Literally reading it in 4 hours while sitting outside on a beautiful day. I love books about friendship, because friendship is such an important part of my life and I don’t think it’s focused on enough. The reason it was 4 and not 5 stars is the ending. The ending is just ridiculous. But putting that aside, I loved it. It’s a great read. Probably my favorite Jane Green book and I think I’ve read them all.
3.5 stars. I was leaning towards 4, but the ending was a bit too neat and rushed.
A very satisfying read about the family we choose.
Hard to put this book down- great story about friendships
There's a BBC 2 Morning show on Saturdays hosted by Graham Norton. Every week they play a song under the title of " I can't believe it's not better".
This book is like one of those songs.

I think it’s kismet this book about lifelong friendship publishes on my best friend’s (of almost twenty-eight years) birthday! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Jane Green is another of my go-tos for summer reads, and wow, I’m loving this summery cover, as well as what’s inside.
Evvie, Topher, and Maggie have been best friends since college. Just as those friendships tend to go, they made a solemn vow to be friends forever. Over time, they have drifted apart, and none of the friends are in the place they thought they’d be when they were young dreamers.
Topher is an actor, but he has kept a secret since childhood that has weighed heavily on him. Maggie and Ben got married, and there’s something heavy coming between them. Evvie becomes a supermodel, but she ruins her career with an impulsive act.
After thirty years, the friends reunite. As they reminisce, it feels like another chance at happiness, but there’s a storm cloud lurking with secrets hidden inside.
To me, the biggest message from The Friends We Keep is a beautiful one- it’s never too late to reconnect with an old friend, or to mend a relationship that’s been broken. It’s also a story of how we evolve over time with all those tiny choices we make along the way, and how those evolutions may make us forget our dreams or even who we thought we were.
The Friends We Keep is another Jane Green book that’s full of heart. The messages resonate, and I loved the journey these complex friends meandered on. I treasured the hope instilled in these pages, and I’m forever grateful Jane Green writes us these stories we hold in our hearts.
I received a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

A book about friends from college, what's not to like? I love that the author picked diverse characters, brilliant move in creating Maggie, Evvie and Topher. Even though each character has a back story, to some extent a little sad, I love that none of them wallowed in self-pity. I wish I had a bit more about Maggie's childhood. Sure, there is nothing sad there, but I wanted more. I suppose the author chose to keep Maggie's story in the near-past and focus on her current life with Ben. Absolutely love Topher's character. Using Jack's appearance to reveal the past was a great move, I did not anticipate that to be how Maggie comes to know. Enjoyed the book immensely, going to look up more books by this author.
