Book Description:
One late wine-and gossip-fueled night, four friends on a lark create a fateful test of friendship-one that challenges the very principles and boundaries of their alliance. To pass it means to never, at any cost, betray one another. Twenty years later, they must face that ultimate test.
We meet them at the dawn of their camaraderie in the 1980s and already each woman is distinguished from the other: Tamsin, the compassionate mother hen; Reagan, the brazen and clever overachiever; Sarah, the seemingly perfect beauty; and Freddie, who despite being far from her U.S. home, finds strength in her friends. We forward to today, and as promised they are still firm friends...that is until a crisis occurs and the principles that define their friendship test are challenged. Exquisitely rendered by Elizabeth Noble, The Friendship Test is a powerful testament to the depth and capacity of female relationships.

I really liked this book...starts with the beginning of a friendship between 4 girls and follows them in life, including the strains their friendships experience. Highly recommend it, especially if you liked Noble's first book, The Reading Group. -Mirah W.

I love how Noble spent time on each character and allowed us to get to know them and be apart of their lives. A great read!

Rosey B. Although I enjoyed this book, it was a little heavier of a read than I had expected. I guess I was expecting more tales, and such of the friendships of the friends. It spent the majority of the time talking about one character's life (Freddie) and didn't delve too much into the other friends' lives. I would have liked to see more on the other friends...but maybe that means the author will write more books on each character?! Overall, it's a good read!
Hillary L. I absolutely adored this book. Tamsin, Sarah, Reagan, and Freddie have been friends for years. They affectionately call themselves the Tenko Club. The book highlights a little bit on how they met and focuses mostly on their present lives. Matthew, Sarah's husband, falls in love with Freddie. Reagan is in love with Matthew and tries to makes a pass at him on several occasions. The book sounds a bit like a soup opera but it transitions smoothly throughout everyones' lives. This was a really enjoyable book with a great ending.
Good book. Easy read and it keeps your attention. She is a wonderful writer and hopes she writes more books in the future.
This is the same book as The Tenko Club---just different title. Very well-drawn characters and situations. Great!
Four college friends create a fateful test of friendship that lasts twenty years, through marriage, babies, divorce, and tragedy.
