Their friendship was something they swore would last forever. Now years have passed, the friends have drifted apart, and they never found the lives they wanted—the lives they dreamed of when they were young and everything seemed possible. Evvie starved herself to become a supermodel but derailed her career by sleeping with a married man. Maggie married Ben, the boy she fell in love with in college, never imagining the heartbreak his drinking would cause. Topher became a successful actor, but the shame of a childhood secret shut him off from real intimacy. By their thirtieth reunion, these old friends have lost touch with one another and with the people they dreamed of becoming. Together again, they have a second chance at happiness...until a dark secret is revealed that changes everything. The Friends We Keep is about how despite disappointments we’ve had or mistakes we’ve made, it’s never too late to find a place to call home.

"I thoroughly enjoyed viewing the perspectives of all three of the main characters because the author perfectly aligned this with the timeline. Accordingly, this book in particular, differs from other novels because it entails a progression from the beginning to the end that encompasses the overall message of the story entirely. Through this, readers are able to better understand how each of the characters evolved and why their ending turned out the way that it did. Overall, this buildup over multiple years allows for a much more realistic outlook on life for the reader and causes the characters to become increasingly relatable to the audience. "
