I just finished 'My Friends' and it's a rollercoaster of emotions. The story follows a group of five childhood friends who reunite after a decade apart due to a tragic incident that tore them apart. The protagonist, a quiet but observant writer, serves as the narrator, piecing together their fractured relationships through flashbacks and present-day interactions. The plot thickens when they discover a shared secret from their past that forces them to confront their guilt and unresolved tensions. The novel brilliantly explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the passage of time, with each friend representing a different facet of human vulnerability. The climax reveals how their bond, though damaged, might be the only thing that can save them from their individual demons.

Reading 'My Friends' felt like peeling an onion—each layer revealing deeper complexities. The novel starts with a seemingly simple premise: a reunion of old friends at a remote cabin. But nothing is as it seems. The narrative alternates between their teenage years, filled with reckless adventures and unspoken crushes, and the present, where they're all hiding something. The writer, the athlete, the artist, the rebel, and the quiet one—each character is meticulously crafted, with their own flaws and secrets.

What makes the plot stand out is how it subverts expectations. Just when you think it's a nostalgic trip down memory lane, a twist reveals one of them might have orchestrated the reunion for revenge. The tension builds slowly, with subtle hints dropped like breadcrumbs. The final confrontation isn't explosive; it's a quiet, heartbreaking moment where they realize their friendship was both their greatest strength and their fatal flaw. The author leaves you questioning whether they'll ever truly reconcile or if some wounds are too deep to heal.

'My Friends' is a masterclass in character-driven storytelling. The plot revolves around a pact made during their youth—a promise to always protect each other—that gets tested when one of them disappears under mysterious circumstances. Years later, the remaining four are drawn back to their hometown by cryptic messages, each suspecting the others know more than they admit.

What's fascinating is how the novel plays with perspective. The chapters shift between characters, showing how memory distorts truth. The athlete remembers the missing friend as a hero; the artist recalls a liar. The tension isn't just about solving the mystery—it's about whose version of the past is accurate. The climax isn't about finding the missing person; it's about whether their friendship can survive the truth. The ending is ambiguous, leaving readers to decide if the bonds of friendship are stronger than the weight of secrets.

In times of pandemic like now, the type of people reduced even more. Not subjected to company policy or social etiquette constraints, we few passionate friends can still make for a full and enjoyable evening in our own homes here in the country Munching popcorn, watching any old series? Why not select the likes of 'Stranger Things' or 'Breaking Bad'? Bring the cinema right into your living room After all that it's time to play a board game.

Hey, the concept of 'Rainbow Friends' has a pretty broad meaning. If we're talking about the show 'Rainbow Friends' from 80's, there were six main characters: Biba, Diba, Zebbie, Jet, Spark and Silva. However, if 'Rainbow Friends' refers to a more universal term such as pals in the LGBT+ community, then the number really depends on the specific context.
