About this listen

Secrets, betrayal, and jealousy are at the heart of a friendship in an unnerving short story about truth and self-deception by Caroline Kepnes, the New York Times bestselling author of You.

Ellen has a lot to be thankful for. Her fiancé, Troy, is perfectly sweet. Her childhood friend Tanya, despite her edgier taste in men, is like a sister to Ellen: her closest friend—and rival. So familiar and yet, over the years, so many secrets between them. For Ellen, what lies ahead is a series of choices that will add up to a life she never could have imagined.

Caroline Kepnes’s The Bad Friend is part of Never Tell, a heart-pounding collection of stories about secrets, lies, and mind games. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Just keep the endings to yourself.

We, the readers, get a first person story in the mind of our heroine and get to view her life from the beginning of her early twenties through her first marriage, first child, first divorce, first time back in the dating pool, running into old friends and all her thoughts on everything in between.
Not sure how I felt about being in someone else's neurotic head but the audiobook is only about an hour and written in the classic CK style with lots of twists and ethical questions.

An interesting way to spend an hour
