Bookends by Jane Green

Catherine Warner and Simon Nelson are best friends: total opposites, always together, and both unlucky in love. Cath is scatterbrained, messy, and–since she had her heart broken a few years back–emotionally closed off. Si is impossibly tidy, bitchy, and desperate for a man of his own. They live in London’s West Hampstead along with their lifelong friends, Josh and Lucy, who are happily married with a devil-spawn child and a terrifying Swedish nanny, Ingrid.

All is well until the sudden come back of a college friend–the stunningly beautiful Portia, who’s known for breaking hearts. Though they’ve grown up and grown apart from Portia, the four friends welcome her back into the fold. But does Portia have a hidden agenda or is she merely looking to reconnect with old friends? Her reappearance soon unleashes a rollicking series of events that tests the foursome’s friendships to the limit and leaves them wondering if a happy ending is in store.

Bookends basically is about friendship. The closeness of Cath and Si really touched my heart and brought a smile on my face. And I must say I really love Lucy’s character and I can’t help but wish I have a ‘Lucy’ in my life. Ingrid on the other hand is a really colorful character, a nightmare but still make you throw your head back and laugh!

All and all, I just love this book. It’s a really funny book and it easily transports you into it owns world and make you forget about anything else. It’s one of those books that is easy to read and really left something in my heart for quite sometimes. For this one, I’d give it 4.5 out of 5 stars!
