The Friends We Keep

by Jane Green

First published 2019

Evvie once starved herself to become a supermodel before her affair with a married man destroyed her career. Maggie married her college sweetheart Ben, only to watch alcohol tear their marriage apart. Topher achieved success as an actor but carries a childhood secret that prevents him from forming real relationships. The three friends made promises in college that their bond would never break. Thirty years later, they have drifted apart and none of them found the lives they imagined when they were young. At their thirtieth college reunion, Evvie, Maggie, and Topher come together again. They see a chance to rebuild their friendship and find the happiness that has eluded them. But when someone reveals a dark secret from their past, everything changes. The three must face whether their friendship can survive the truth about who they really are.
