Bookends by Jane Green

This is the cover I have (paperback) and is no longer available at amazon.com although they have a different edition. Read in 2009 after having it on my shelf forever (it seems). I loved the cover but the book was, for me, just so-so.

from amazon.com:
A few friends meet at university: Simon, the chirpy gay character; Portia, the glamour girl; Josh, the adorable, unpretentious catch; and Cath, the overweight, insecure narrator. Portia strays from their crowd, but the other three remain friends into their 30s. Now successful Londoners, each faces a personal crisis: singleton Cath leaves a secure job to start a bookstore; Simon looks for love; Josh's marriage goes through growing pains. And then Portia, as intimidating and elegant as ever, wanders back into their lives--with surprising results.

here's the link to amazon.com: Bookends: A Novel

Thank you!

I have no idea why the captcha thing is showing up. I've got the setting marked "no" that I don't want it. Grrrrrr! But, I believe that if you skip entering anything it will post.
