Summary

Fast Friends is a warm and funny romantic novel from Sunday Times best-selling author Jill Mansell.

For fans of Lucy Diamond, Cathy Kelly and Marian Keyes.

When the chips are down, who better to turn to than your oldest friends?

When bored housewife and mother Camilla Stewart impulsively invites her old school chums for dinner, she hardly imagines that the evening will shatter her comfortable existence. But Roz Vallender and Loulou Marks are no ordinary guests.

Roz, stunning and self-assured, is notorious as a TV presenter and superbitch whilst the reckless Loulou owns Vampires, the trendiest wine bar in town. Horrified to discover that husband Jack has been playing around, Camilla determines to make some changes. With a little help from her friends, she soon finds out that life in the fast lane is a lot more fun, and the future still holds plenty of surprises.

Very Racist, not appropriate to be published

I downloaded this book for light relief, a lighthearted story to relax. However I was shocked and disappointed at the repeatedly racist content of this book. The frequent references to the 'Black' boy... and the black character Joshua is not integrated into the narrative at all. The ethnic characters are 2D, with no depth, they are only included to be represented as 'other' and includes shocking stereotypes of being aggressive, bullying, money grabbing ... there is no sense of social commentary or any real context of informed character driven writing. The twist at the end is not enough to redeem this racist story telling, the use if terms such as 'dusky' are seriously inappropriate. It should be considered if this book is fit for distribution.

I have brain fog so maybe that had an impact

way too many characters, it jumps alot!! the last chapter is too this is how it all ends...
I normally love her books but this really didn't work for me. I kept with it but didn't always keep up with all the story lines. if your happy ending is having kids this is good for you, if not then less so. don't like leaving bad reviews but this was disappointing. narrator was good tho, didn't make annoying fake children voices like some do.

Too awful I couldnt finish

Bought as a 2-1 offer but what a waste of half a credit. It started off badly & kept getting worse. Eventually gave up with 11 hours still to go. Definitely not for me
