Kate, Aubrey and Jenny are inseparable at college – friends who promised they’d always be there for each other.

But twenty years later, their friendship is about to take a deadly turn.

Kate married the gorgeous party boy, Aubrey married up, and Jenny married the boy next door, but when one of the friends dies in shocking circumstances, will everyone assume that it’s always the husband? Or could it be the best friend?

In love with Michelle Campbell all over again. I have never hated a heroine so much probably in my whole life. The End was so so satisfying, im walking around with a calm smile right now

Justice Served. Beautiful Narrator

A refreshingly different thriller , well crafted story with all the twists you could want. I really could not put this book down

Hooked from page one

Not any great surprises here... a slow unwinding if not very likeable characters and the interactions between them.

Average

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Without giving too much away.....I expected this to be about a rocky marriage but instead it's about friendship that formed in college years and how it influenced the characters in their adult years. It switches back between past and present in quite a clear way and keeps you guessing right till the end.

Wasn't what I expected

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

sadly this story was interrupted by too many sex scenes :( very disappointing ... ...

too much sex
