Great. Started slowly. Ended quickly. I liked the characters.
The three friends, who met in college, have withstood time. They’ve each moved on, led separate lives, and have now come back together. While keeping in touch with each other throughout the years, they kept secrets from each other. After 30 years, they are back together and reliving their lives.
The style of writing in this book is perfect. I love that it starts with a short blurb about the present and then it goes back and starts with Evvie, Maggie, and Topher meeting and moves forward from there. Knowing their past, their history helps to better understand the present. I love how open, accepting, and understanding they are of each other. They accept each other’s quirks, they are open to each other’s lifestyle choices, and they love each other entirely. Their relationships are the type that is made to last miles apart, changes in lifestyles, and forever.
Everything about Jane Green’s book is wonderful. She writes a story that pulled me in, kept me turning pages, and left me wondering what was next for these three. I recommend picking up your own copy and enjoying these engaging characters.

Meh. I knew how it was going to end with 100 pages left.

This book brings up a lot of universal feelings about friendship, regret, lies and forgiveness. It is impossible to read this book and not think about your own life and people who have come and gone, decisions made, paths taken. This was a good story and made me think back to the days where everything was possible and how the choices we ultimately make are ones we have to live with yet it’s never too late to make amends.

Does 75% count as read or abandoned? Started out as a fun book but gradually became about sad, codependent people with too long descriptions. When it takes 6 pages to move the action from first thought to second, due to too much description, you’ve lost me. Maybe I want more enlightened or self aware characters or maybe it’s poorly written. Either way, I’m done. Too many books I want to read to stay with this one anymore.
I quite enjoyed this book. It was a delightful story about three best friends who meet in college, fall away from each other and then thirty years later find their way back to each other. I loved the characters and the complexity of their personalities and how well they complimented each other. The plot was good and gave an easy quick read. It was truly delightful and just the perfect summer read!
