Friends forever is a difficult promise to keep... Meet Lana, Judith and Catrin. Best friends since primary school when they swore an oath on a Curly Wurly wrapper that they would always be there for each other, come what may. After the trip of a lifetime, the three girls are closer than ever. But an unexpected turn of events shakes the foundation of their friendship to its core, leaving their future in doubt - there's simply too much to forgive, let alone forget. An innocent childhood promise they once made now seems impossible to keep...

Thoughts

One thing that comes across in all Ruth’s novels is an incredible talent for creating vivid, warm and wonderful characters, rooted in Wales of course. This story takes three best friends from their early connections all the way through some significant life events that split them up and draw them back together again. There are serious issues being discussed but there’s a humour and joy to it all, even through the rollercoaster of life. A wonderful book.
