Quickly I realized this book is not for me.I had a really tough time following this story. I did not connect with the characters or the story line for that matter. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this complimentary book. All opinions expressed are my own.

I was reading this story at the same time I was reading a much darker story. This one pulled me through!! It wasn’t that this story didn’t have its share of drama and sadness - these three ladies had some stuff going on...

This was a long story and at times it felt like it. I liked reading about these ladies and their stories. It wasn’t always easy or fun but there were some real moments there.

I don’t have much experience with this author. In looking at her profile it appears that this is an early work, being re-released. I would definitely try more.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for a copy in exchange for a review.

Camilla Stewart was always the plump mousey one in the trio of school friends, Roz Vallender and Loulou Marks are beautiful, confident and successful. When Camilla invites them to a dinner party she finds out more than she bargained for which dramatically changes the course of her life and in turn her friends’ lives. I normally love Jill's books but not this one, it took a bit of effort to get to the end. The characters were relatively believable but a bit too horrible and the twists were a bit too frustrating. We could see where the story was going but it took a really winding path to get there. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the E-Arc copy of Fast Friends.
Normally I would gush over Jill Mansell's newest book, but for me it seemed just okay. The plot is solid and the characters are good, but for me it was just missing something. I would still recommend it if you like romance and read quickly. It is a good solid romance.

Fast Friends, is like a Soap Opera. Who's sleeping with who, who's pregnant and who's the babies daddy. Marriages, divorces and affairs.

Thanks to Netgalley fir the ARac in exchange for a review.
I dont like to tell you what the book is about in my review because you can read that on the inside flap.
I dont think Jill Mansell has written a book that I did not love to read including this one.
Really did not want to stop reading this book to even go to sleep.

This is the story of Camilla, Roz and LouLou, three friends from school who connect 15 years later. Roz is totally unlikable til the very end. LouLou is self destructive and wishy washy. Camilla starts out being a doormat before she finally grows a backbone. There are so many missed connections between the characters in this book that it got repetitive. Thank you to net galley for an early copy.

Good description of all the characters,well thought of plot should be on your reading list.
