The Weekend Trip by Joanna BolouriMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Five flatmates are leaving Dublin University, they spend the weekend at Erin's beachside house that she inherited from her grandparents. They make wishes and promise to be friends forever.
Ten years later, Erin is a successful actress and widow, she's determined to sell the house but wants one last party with her old college friends so she invites them, and partners for a final weekend.
Alex is a best-selling author. Tara is a recovering drug addict, Becky is a successful massage therapist, and Beth is a teacher with MS. And the other halves? TROUBLE. Each of them comes to the weekend with secrets they want to hide, not least Alex who met Tara's new boyfriend on the flight over and made an instant connection.
Can you ever resurrect old friendships? Have the friends move on? Can you be friends when you hide the truth about your life from them?
I really enjoyed this, as we all get older we do leave friends behind, not intentionally and it can be hard to reconnect but these women push past that and find some deeper truth.
Recommended for anyone who thinks everyone else has it all together.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
