Friends Forever

Successful attorney Molly Reid thought she had buried the past. But when her former college roommate Sarah is found dead, Molly is pulled back into the tangled emotional world of Devereaux College, 

At Sarah’s wake, Molly confronts the people she left behind:

• the ex-fiancé she never truly escaped
• the privileged classmates who never accepted her
• and Sarah’s grieving mother, who hands Molly a collection of Sarah’s rehab journals

As Molly reads Sarah’s painful confessions, she realizes her best friend was far more damaged — and far more complicated — than she ever understood. The journals uncover buried secrets about friendship, addiction, class, love, and betrayal that threaten everything Molly has built.
