Publisher's summary

Best friends tell you everything - about their kitchen renovation, about their little girl’s schooling. How one of them is leaving the other for a younger model.

Best friends don’t tell lies. They don’t take up residence on your couch for weeks. They don’t call lawyers. They don’t make you choose sides.

Best friends don’t keep secrets about their past. They don't put you in danger. Best friends don’t always stay best friends.

Critic reviews

"A chillingly real psychological drama that had me in a total reading frenzy. I absolutely loved it." (Lisa Jewell)
"A brilliant and skillfully plotted depiction of the unexpected breakdown of a friendship between two couples, with one of the most chilling twists I've read in a long time. I couldn't put it down." (Louise Millar)

Slow start, but great book

The story started off slow, but I stuck with it because the reviews were so good. I'm happy I did finish because the twist was unexpected! I wish Hannah and Josh weren't so nice all the time, because Sasha really got on my nerves. All in all, it was a good book. If you're like me and need to be hooked right away, stick with it, it's gets better!

The opposite of a feel good book...

I had no problem finishing the book, because it moved along at a decent pace, and I wanted to know what happened next, and in the end. But having said that, most of the book is just listening to people argue and complain, and because of that, I can't recommend it.

No thanks

It went in for much too long. Got boring and confusing. Don't waste your time or your money!
