A gripping thriller about fake friendships and the truth that lies behind the Facebook page, for fans of The Girlfriend and Friend Request.

We all know someone like Becca.

She has the job everyone wants, a designer wardrobe, a hot-shot lawyer boyfriend, holidays to exotic locations. And she flaunts her perfect life all over social media.

It drove her colleague Lizzie mad, but she couldn't stop looking. They were never really friends - and yet Lizzie knew everything about her.

Or did she?

When chance, and a terrible mistake, pulls Lizzie back into Becca's orbit years after they lost touch, she'll realise that you can't always believe what you see online... and that finding out the truth might be the worst thing you can do.

There's no such thing as a perfect life. Only a perfect lie.

Interesting, moves fairly fast. I wished for a different ending but its a nice change of pace i suppose.

Good

I purchased this book because I liked one that was written by the same author. This book is pretty good, but isn’t fantastic. There are some things about the story that don’t seem plausible, and I didn’t really like how it all concluded. Maybe I’ll try to listen again and get something else out of it!

Didn’t like the ending

'Friends Like These' was a very good, exciting book with an excellent premise and quite a surprising ending. Our heroine is a busy body, chatty type who loves to gossip about everyone at work. She's energetic, tireless, and reminiscent of Bridget Jones in that British, too-hard-on-herself way. We go into the book completely irritated with her, but loving her nonetheless.

Then bad things start happening to her as a direct result of her meddling.

The story takes twists and turns and produces a finale that is truly remarkable in that it's original.

I thought this book was brilliant and I loved it!

I was interested in the story and kept listening until the end but overall, I was not impressed. The characters are shallow and static, including the main ones. A good thriller needs to be clever to pull it off. This is not that. It’s very similar to her other novels in the sense that any twists come from flat out narrator lies. Pointless and lacks creativity

Started out as a fun read and then turned terrifying-and unexpected. I couldn’t stop listening !

Suprisingly terrifying!!!
