About this listen
As teenagers, Poppy Carlisle and Serena Gorringe were the only witnesses to a tragic event. Amid heated public debate, the two seemingly glamorous teens were dubbed “The Ice Cream Girls” by the press and were dealt with by the courts.
Years later, having led very different lives, Poppy is keen to set the record straight about what really happened, while Serena wants no one in her present to find out about her past. But some secrets will not stay buried - and if theirs is revealed, everything will become a living hell all over again . . .
Gripping, thought-provoking and heart-warming, The Ice Cream Girls will make you wonder if you can ever truly know the people you love.

Critic reviews
Would you listen to The Ice Cream Girls again? Why?
It's a once only kind of book - once you know the end it's a done dealWho was your favorite character and why?
Poppy, she had coped incredibly well with her terrible prison sentence and continuing loss of her friends and family - I wanted to hug her!Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances? How does this one compare?
NoDid you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not much to laugh about it was too serious and tragic for that, it made me sad to see yet again how women can be subjected to these terrible events.Any additional comments?
I just can't wait to see the dramatisation now!Gripping from start to finish

a well written story

Although its about a murder and a girl who you want to believe has been wrongly imprisoned it keeps you guessing all the way through and you get totaly absorbed in the lives of the people laid out in front of you.It has a very human quality,beautiful and strangely calming considering the subject matter.Loved it, will listen again.
Better than the TV version

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would definately recommend this book. The story is cripping and the depictions of the two girls/women were extremely well done. Solving the crime itself is not necessarily the center of this book but rather its reasons and consequences. Also the performance was great, I was really sucked into the story because of it.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Ice Cream Girls?
The discussions in the cafe between the two women and the desperation of both of them in the web of misunderstandings and fear.What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
It really helped me to follow the story and not confuse the two characters as would normally easily happen to me. It enabled for me to enjoy the story more (English is not my mother tongue).Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The events in hospital after Serena's accident.Any additional comments?
Great book, I'm happy to have chosen it.Interesting read!
