Summary

Pop music blares from the radio. She sings drunkenly from the backseat. The thrash of windscreen wipers against the driving rain. The screech of tires. A thud.

Naomi and I are best friends.

School runs, dog walks, a shoulder to cry on over a glass of wine - we’re inseparable.

But now my husband has walked out, I need her more than ever.

I know she will help me pick up the pieces.

Because she knows about the lie I told to protect her.

She knows how much I’ve sacrificed for this friendship.

And she’d never let anyone hurt me.

Would she?

This extraordinary novel will suck you in from the very first moment and keep you gripped until the breathtaking finale. Fans of The Wife Between Us, The Girl Before, and Gone Girl will adore this twisted tale of toxic female friendship.

Really enjoyable book. I listened to the audible version and the narration was excellent. Many twists and turns. I liked the right character better all along!

Enjoyable

This was quite good and kept my interest but wasn't outstanding. The 2 main characters Naomi and Sophie were not a bit likeable, and I didn't care what happened to either of them. The narrator kept the same voice for every character so sometimes you didn't know who was talking. The book would've been so much better to listen to if there had been 2 narrators - one for Naomi and one for Sophie. The ending was a bit shocking but I still couldn't feel any empathy for any of them.
It's worth a listen, but not mind blowing!!

Good but not brilliant.

Whilst the premise of the book was good. No one would have put up with Sophie's behaviour! She was as mad as a box of frogs.
Then just when you think Naomi has finally found some guts.. The ending completely ruined it;very weak. A good listen but totally unbelievable and frustrating in places.

Frustrating in places

This was slow to start with, but once it got going very good and shocking

Very slow but good

I liked the characters (although naomi was getting on my nerves after a while) and I feel it could have been shorter without loosing much. The twists were good and the end was unusual perspective, I liked it.

I enjoyed it but it wasn't gripping or intense
