About this listen

She loves him, but can she trust him?

When I meet Henry by chance at a wedding, it is love at first sight. He's charming, handsome and successful - everything I've ever wanted.

When he proposes, it seems like all my dreams are coming true.

But Ivy, my best friend, isn't happy for me at all. She tells me I am making a huge mistake and accuses Henry of something unthinkable.

I know it can't be true. But why would Ivy lie to me?

Now someone is dead and I need to find the truth, whatever it costs me. Before I lose everyone I've ever loved...

A totally gripping listen with a killer twist you won't see coming. Fans of K.L Slater, Lisa Jewell and C.L Taylor will be hooked by Dandy Smith.

Really enjoyed this book. two thirds of the way through and there's no twists yet but I've read on other reviews there will be. I just can't stand the narrators voice. It's ruined it for me. Especially when she's reading the part of Ivy.

A story about a girl who is torn between her best friend and boyfriend. Lies, scandal and murder. Wit, humour, and sadness. Intensity throughout. I loved this read so much. I read it in less than 3 days. The relationship between the girls is sisterhood, soulmates, possessiveness, and obsession with a sprinkle of sex. Dandy has possibly even taken some inspiration from Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas, if you liked that book, you’d definitely love this one.

The girls meet at university, on a drunken night in their student union, bonding over a heartbreak. Singing in the bathroom to Dirty Dancing and that was it, best friends. Years later, Zara meets a man. He is attractive, wealthy, intelligent and everything a girl could dream of. Ivy takes an instant dislike to Henry and this grows into jealously, lies and drama for Zara. It becomes a matter of he said/she said after various events happen in the book (I won’t give you any spoilers) Torn between the two, who will she believe? The book addresses many interesting topics/themes, such as: friendship, love, toxic/abusive relationships, and death.

This will have you gripped, right from the intense first chapter. You will not put it down. You will not regret buying it.

Previously reading Dandy Smith’s One Small Mistake (get a copy if you haven’t already) I became a huge fan of her work. She is witty, smart, a feminist and will address some intense topics in a careful, sensitive way, whilst keeping it interesting for the reader.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but this book (Somehow) is even better than her first. If you read her previous book, don’t even hesitate to buy this one. If you haven’t buy both. You won’t regret it!

Gripping, intense, fast paced thriller

Another beautifully penned psychological thriller from Dandy Smith; best friends become not so best friends and everything in between weaves a story of friendship, obsession, compulsion, manipulation, naivety and disbelief - I was totally invested from the off. Exceptionally good.

Twisty and absorbing
