OMG. This book was fantastic!! I was so happy when I got approved for it because I just knew it was going to be a crazy one! Such a great thrill and the characters are awesome. |
This book took a long time to really get going- it was way too slow for me and only got exciting towards the end by which time I was no longer interested. The ending was not twisty enough either and had no major surprises. It is just an average book. |
Great psychology thriller. I absolutely loved these characters. The plot was great. Susannah is rebuilding her life… and Charlotte seems to have it all… Someone is not who they seem to be! What happens is crazy and you won't need it coming |

I expected this to be a psychological thriller, but to me it seemed more of a story about a complicated (and toxic) friendship. I kept expecting plot twists or to be completely caught off-guard, but unfortunately there were no impactful moments. Even the very ending, which I think was supposed to be a surprise, was underwhelming. |
I'm sorry but this just wasn't for me. I found the story really boring - in my opinion, nothing really happened at all until the last 20% of the book, by which point I just didn't care anymore. The writing was very good, but that's about the only thing I can say I liked. I don't feel like the characters had enough depth to particularly care about them and the plot was just dull. To top it all off, the author did a lot of fat-shaming which I just think was unnecessary. Sorry I don't have better things to say about this book. There is probably an audience for it, but I would say that audience would be more women's fiction than mystery/thriller fans. |
Amazing story. Well developed characters that are in a twisted engrossing thriller. Highly recommended. Super suspense that comes to a satisfying end! Highly recommended . A true roller coaster thrill ride |
YouR meatballs for allowing me to read This book. Susannah and Charlotte became good friends. One of them is not who you think she is. She has a secret agenda I enjoyed this book. |
Now this is my type of thriller - I left so uncomfortable throughout and I loved it. So dark and harrowing I found myself wanting to read more and more into the night. |

#TheBestOfFriends #NetGalley Gripping. Susannah is rebuilding her life… Susannah has had a tough year. After a sticky divorce and losing the life she had grown accustomed to, moving to a small town in the south of England with her two sons is exactly the fresh start she needs. Charlotte seems to have it all… Charlotte is delighted when Susannah moves in. Charlotte may appear to have the perfect husband, the perfect family, the perfect house, but deep down she’s lonely, and she needs someone to confide in. But one of them is not who they pretend to be… Narration of the story was excellent and so were it's characters. Thanks to NetGalley and One More Chapter for giving me an advanced copy of this book. |
This book took quite a while to get going and get interesting and there's a lot of inner dialogue. The ending was as pretty much what I expected. Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. |
What happened to the friendship turns toxic? This book is a psychological thriller about two friends and what holds them together. I highly recommend this most anticipated read. |
Amazing psychological thriller about two friends. This one kept me on my edge of my seat until the last page. I particularly love to relatable the characters and the fast paced plot. I highly recommend it |
