Meet Sophie, Eva, and John. In college, they did
everything together. Then they drifted apart. Now, twenty
years later, they're about to reunite to compare lives,
talk about the past, and plan for the future. But will it
bring them closer together or tear them apart?
Sophie was accustomed to living her life on the straight
and narrow path. She married an MBA, morphing into the
perfect wife and soccer mom. Now, with her son grown and
her divorce final, she can finally become the woman she
was meant to be—whoever she is.
Eva's passionate temperament was certain to lead her down
the road to becoming a poet—not an aggressive,
sophisticated advertising executive with a trail of lovers
in her wake. Smart, powerful, and too busy for anything
deeper than sex, Eva likes everything on a temporary
basis, until she meets a hot, young thing who could
destroy the only friendships she truly treasures.
As a selfless lawyer, John gives his all to pro bono work,
never thinking about his own life. He'll get to marriage
and kids later. Besides, there's only one woman he's ever
been truly crazy about, and for twenty years, he's carried
that torch painfully alone. Or has he?
What starts as a warm reunion soon gives way to old
insecurities, hidden passions, romantic misadventures, new
secrets, and shocking betrayal.
With The Friends We Keep, Holly Chamberlin introduces
three friends who could be your own in a winning novel
about growing up, moving on, and keeping close to those
who remind us of where we've been and where we still hope
to go.
