The Friends We Keep by Jane Green
3.0
Let me start by saying, I am a Jane Green fan and even though I didn't completely love this one, I am still a Jane Green fan. Three friends are at the center of this book and they meet in university and then travel in and out of each other's lives for the rest of their lives.
This book was just ok for me. There were moments where I felt like the story dragged and then moments where I wanted more. I didn't get completely swept away by any of the characters. Each had a bit of drama that they needed to work through and unlike my favorite stories they almost had to be apart to grow instead of be together, they were holding each other back.
I wanted more from this book. I love stories where friendship is the center, but for me the drama overshadowed the emphasis on how friendships matter and most of the drama was about romantic relationships.
I will always read Jane Green because I love almost all of her backlist. I hope she has more up her sleeve with interesting characters that I can root for.
