About this listen

Three friends, thirty years of shared secrets, one impulsive gesture ... and a terrible accident. When friendship goes bad, someone has to pay. For fans of Liane Moriarty and Robyn Harding.

It's New Year's Eve. Three thirty-something women—Aimee, Melinda and Lou—best friends for decades, let off sky lanterns filled with resolutions: for meaning, for freedom, for money. As the glowing paper bags float away, there's a bright flare in the distance. It could be a sign of luck—or the start of a complete nightmare that will upend their friendships, families and careers.

The day after their ceremony, the newspapers report a small plane crash—two victims pulled from the wreckage, one a young boy. Were they responsible? Aimee thinks they are, Melinda won't accept it, and Lou has problems of her own. It's a toxic recipe for guilt trips, shame, obsession, blackmail and power games.

They're not bad people. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

I really enjoyed getting to know the family dynamics. As always brilliant narration from Caroline Lee

Excellent characterisation

Enjoyed the intertwined lives of all the characters. I wondered if Melinda was pregnant halfway through the book, she kept having fluttering in her tummy! I was right.
Would love to hear more about them and what’s in store in the future.

Loved it!
