We Were Never Friends

De: Kaira Rouda

Sisters? Forever. Friends? NEVER. Who knew a reunion weekend could be so deadly?
Meet the sorority sisters of Theta Gamma Mu:

• Roxy Callahan Gentry, the ruthless former sorority president and current hostess who has painstakingly choreographed every detail of this weekend—even matching the cocktails to her couture—to prove that she remains their undisputed queen
• Amelia Dell, the widow drenched in old money and alcohol, with her big pot-stirring spoon and uninvited boy-toy in tow
• Jamie Vale, the double-legacy pledge, straight-A student with no sparkle, now a top cardiologist with a picture-perfect family—and a well-guarded bad habit
• Beth Harrison, the scholarship student who never quite fit in and was only admitted because her best friend Sunny insisted that the two were a package deal
• Sunny Spencer, the carefree and beloved friend to all, or so it seemed—until she wasn’t

They've been summoned to Roxy's luxurious Palm Springs vacation home to celebrate the engagement of her son to Beth’s daughter. But the refurbished 1920s estate is eerily reminiscent of the hotel where tragedy struck during Spring Break twenty-five years ago. Long-simmering tensions and shocking secrets begin bubbling to the surface like bodies—because while the weekend was supposed to be about celebrating the future, it's not so easy to bury the past…
For fans of Shari Lapena, Mary Kubica, and B. A. Paris, We Were Never Friends is an unputdownable, riveting train wreck full of dark humor and bad behavior.

Meh

I’m a sucker for college reunion books. The blurb for WE WERE NEVER FRIENDS sounded like a perfect fit for me.

Former scholarship student Beth’s daughter is marrying former queen bee’s son bringing together invited and uninvited former sorority sisters.

Told from multiple points of view, Beth was the only somewhat-tolerable former sister.

The over the top resolution felt anticlimactic.

I should have skipped this one

I read the reviews and saw that several people said that they didn’t really enjoy it, but I decided to try it anyway. It’s hard to leave a review when there is such little depth in a book. I usually enjoy this type of story, but definitely should have skipped this one.
