A review by mldavisreads
The Friends We Keep by Jane Green

4.0

Adult realistic contemporary fiction. Topher, Evvie, and Maggie met on their first day of university in England, and stayed close their whole time there. They got used to cooking and eating together, living together, and knowing the ins and outs of their daily lives. Despite promises to keep in touch, they drifted apart after graduation. Infrequent check-ins made it easy to hide things from each other, which all of them took advantage of, but none more than Evvie. When they reconnect at their 30th reunion, they are surprised at both how easy and how hard it is to be together again.

Well-written story, with a great setting (mostly English countryside, some in NYC). I especially loved Topher's character and his relationships. I felt he was the strongest individual character. A great summer read.
