The Truth of Us
By Sara Cox
Published by Hodder & Stoughton
Sara Cox, much-loved DJ and author takes us on a new journey and exploration of female friendships in her new novel The Truth of Us.
Growing up can be tough but the truth between two childhood friends can be trusted - right?
Living next door to your best friend is the BEST thing that happened to Abi and Christy back in the 80’s.
Identical houses but very different families!
Families that share their highs and lows!
Their troubles, their celebrations and their lives become entwined as each character becomes a friend to another - Friends are the family you choose because of similarities, differences or just chance!
This easy to read story of Abi and Christy, takes you through their teenage years, their illicit nights out and their doomed romances as they grow up together sharing everything!
Well almost!
Cox’s writing skips between their younger years to present day -
Abi's life is full of marriage, family, stability and boredom!
Christy, wild, travelled and partied hard is now in the world of TV.
But circumstances find them living next door to each other again.
Is it finally time to confront each other, the past and the truth?
There is so much to like about this new novel from Sara Cox -
strong female friendships, that are tested throughout generations,
funny anecdotes of times gone by, things unsaid as hearts are broken.
A great read! A story that reflects aspects of what you might have had in your younger years or even now!
