Can We Still Be Friends

Description

Can We Still Be Friends is the debut novel by the editor of British Vogue, Alexandra Shulman. Summer, 1983. Best friends, Sal, Annie and Kendra are fresh-faced and fresh out of university. Three very different girls about to walk three very different but equally tangled paths . . . Sal's the aspiring journalist whose personal demons threaten to destroy everything she achieves. Annie's the domestic beauty, convinced that marriage will give her everything she wants. And Kendra, the daughter of chic, liberal parents, is searching for her an identity all of her own. As they plunge headlong into the years of pixie boots and shoulder pads, Duran Duran and Margaret Thatcher, they find that for all their plans and hopes and dreams, nothing in life is certain - and that includes friendship.

An engaging debut, alive with human sympathy' Wendy Holden, Daily Mail Alexandra Shulman has edited British Vogue since 1992.
