This promise should not have been kept but it was and the story was interesting look at the twist and turns that life brought to Kate, Lily, and Jordan. The love that they shared as children lasted them a lifetime through all of the up and downs of their lives.The simple things that they did for each other like when they first meet Jordan at a funeral they all went for a long walk together and that day was the day there "threeness" started. For a few years their whole lives where each other.They would spend hours out on the golf course just sitting and talking. When Jordan left for school the three of them stayed close together even though they are far apart.This book was very interesting because the story took turns and twists, and it would keep you on your toes by going back in forth between the future and the past.
