Publisher's 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.

Wanted to scream at main character !

It’s okay, I just wanted to scream at Naomi for about 2/3rds of book - “ tell your husband what is happening to you! “ like geez let someone that loves you in ! And don’t get me started on the ending that was an unwelcome surprise ! Would have preferred it to wrap up a little nicer .

annoying

This quarrel between two childish besties is nothing more than a long drawn-out story about two immature women and a secret that becomes boring the longer it takes to reveal. **WARNING PLOT REVEAL** DOG is killed so I should have ended it there!!! i was disappointed in Boyd's story as she normally delivers. ALSO the narrators voice for the children is just way too needy and whiny.
