Summary

Once you let her in, she’ll never leave.... 

Abi Allerton is happily married. She lives in a beautiful Victorian semi that she and her husband, Rohan, have lovingly renovated. Her past is firmly behind her.

When her old university friend Grace gets back in touch, Abi is hesitant. Their friendship was intense and all-consuming. But with Rohan away for work, Abi could use some company, so she agrees to let Grace stay.

Before Abi realises her mistake, it’s too late. Grace is back to her old ways, and Abi is losing grip on her calm, well-ordered life. Because Grace knows Abi’s secret - and she’ll never let her forget it.

Glued to this story

Brilliantly written story, absolutely gripping and graphic. I loved every second of it. So many twists and turned. I was hooked!

Thriller

I listened to this book whilst working and spent the first half of it waiting for the characters to reveal a personality or the plot to thicken. It was a reasonably entertaining listen. Modern thrillers are a bit thin in the plot for me, perhaps.

Quite good but predictable

Maybe I’ve read too many psychological thrillers but I knew what was coming a long way before the ending and was hoping for something else twist wise. Also the cat bit was a bit weird. Why does “Grace” hate cats? Felt like it wasn’t fully developed.
