Friends forever is a difficult promise to keep...
Meet Lana, Judith and Catrin. Best friends since primary school when they swore an oath on a Curly Wurly wrapper that they would always be there for each other, come what may.

But an unexpected turn of events shakes the foundation of their friendship to its core, leaving their future in doubt - there's simply too much to forgive, let alone forget.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Not content with becoming a National Treasure for her contributions to television, Gavin & Stacey co-creator Ruth Jones is carving out a very impressive niche as a writer of irresistible fiction. Us Three is Jones’ second novel and an absorbing and deeply affecting love letter to the power of female friendships. Like Never Greener, her debut, Jones draws her characters with the same heart as those in her screenwriting, and we were invested in the lives of Catrin, Judith and Lana from the moment the trio promise lifelong friendship on a Curly Wurly wrapper as children. A shocking chain of events leads to a seismic shift in their relationship and allows Jones to explore love, loss, deceit and dark comedy in a way that shines further light on her gift.
