#BlogTour-‘The Four Of Us’ by Aine Toner

About the book…

Four Friends. Four Secrets.

When Lucy tells her friends they need break a from each other, Pippa, Colette and Christine are stunned – after all, Lucy is the quiet one, isn’t she?

As the four girls try to adjust to life without each other, none of them could have foreseen the consequences of mousy Lucy’s announcement that day in a swanky Belfast hotel…and as secrets start to come to light, the girls are all asking the same question: How well do you really know your friends?

In ‘The Four Of Us’, Aine Toner has completely nailed the of 4 seperate protagonists and their group dynamic. She skillfully juggles 4 different viewpoints after introducing them at a Belfast hotel where they regularly meet for overpriced cake-ish get togethers.

The gentle sniping turns to full on warfare as Lucy, nicknamed ‘Mousy’ suggests that they stop meeting. With familarity comes contempt, and it is the group consensus, after Lucy’s bombshell that they are no longer being honest with each other-particularly Pippa, but Lucy won’t elaborate on this at the start of the book-that they not meet for the next 6 months.

Hurt and bewildered, Christine, Colette and Pippa agree, hoping that they will miss each other and reconnect at a future juncture. The ripple effects of the afternoon, however, are about to develop into a tsunami of accusations, recriminations and vengeance…

A meaningful meditation on modern female friendships shot through with humour and a big heart, this is a really enjoyable read that will keep you engaged as you wonder how these 4 women became friends in the first place-and will they end stronger and happier apart from each other? Read ‘The Four Of Us’ to find out!

Hugest thanks to Tracy Fenton, Aine Toner and ‘Manatee Books’ for having me on this blog tour, I remain grateful for the opportunity.
