The Year That Changed Us by Helen Rolfe
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
As young women, Lise and Emma had the kind of friendship people dream about. While Lise's own family was distant and disengaged, Emma's was welcoming and warm, and for the first twenty-six years of their life, growing up together in a close-knit community, the duo were inseparable. But when they decide to spend one year living together in Paris, what starts as the adventure of a lifetime becomes a disaster that changes everything. And when Emma returns to Bath the following summer, Lise stays behind in France, their friendship in tatters.
Now, sixteen years later, Lise has come back to their hometown, determined to put things right. But to do so, she'll have to face up to the truth about what happened in Paris. And with Emma refusing to talk to her, can she get close enough to share her secret?
My Opinion
Helen Rolfe is an author that I will always read. This was an emotional read about how a friendship can change. This story will take you on a journey and you will find yourself both laughing with the characters and getting frustrated with their actions. Told in two different timelines, you will learn about the past and present in the friendship of Emma and Lise.
I started this book during my lunch break and I really didn't want to put it down. When I finally got the time to read this again, I read it as slow as I could as I wasn't ready to reach the end. This was a lovely read and another great addition to Helen Rolfe's catalogue of books.
Rating 4/5
