4.0
Jane Green has become one of my go to authors that I know , will give me an amazing book that ,will fill my heart with amazing characters and have me thinking about the book long after I finish it! The Friends We Keep follows a decade long friendship between three friends who met while attending college. Eevie who is half Jamaican and half American who was a child star . Maggie is more down to earth who loves cooking and is sweet and cares about her friends with everything! Topher who is nervous for anyone to touch him he’s gay but doesn’t want everyone to know and a huge softie for his two other friends. Each friend carries a secret from their childhood. The book begins in 2016 and Maggie’s husband Ben who she fell in love with after college is on a train and receives a text saying she wants a divorce. The next chapter introduces the three friends when they meet on the first day of college in 1986. Each chapter is like a diary and it shows what each friend is going through after they left college. It shows the hardships and mistakes they make including the love throughout the years . When Eevie makes a mistake that will jeopardize her friendship with Maggie she withdraws and focuses on her now famous modeling career. Maggie keeps it hidden that her husband is an alcoholic and Topher is a famous soap opera star but feels if he tells everyone he’s gay he will lose everything. This book had me turning the page and feeling like I was on this adventure with the characters. My heart broke with each of them with every step they took. I give this four stars. This will be the perfect beach read and it I loved it!
