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

Usually I like a conclusive ending to a book to leave me satisfied, but I did really like that you got to interpret the ending based on whether you believed Zara's obsession and history with Ivy would over power Ivy's recent deceptive behaviour (more than usual). The twist on Zara's stalker I didn't expect.

I really struggled to listen to the narrators accents for the characters, particular Ivy and Henry. Too posh for me! But maybe that'z because I'm Northern? I do understand they are from Bath though so makes sense for the storyline.

Overall would recommend.

An good audiobook it was a tad long in the middle but liked the premise of the story Frustrated with the main character at times

Good Thriller

I finished the book so it was definitely gripping in parts. Just the main character was extremely annoying. The narration was excellent. I don’t know that I would recommend this book, but if you are looking for something to listen to that keeps you guessing, then go for it.

Excellent narration, main character really annoying
