About this listen
Yasmin would give anything to have a friend... and do anything to keep one.
The first time I saw you, you were standing at the far end of the playing field. You were looking down at your brown, straggly dog, but then you looked up, your mouth going slack as your eyes clocked her. Alice Taylor. I was no different. I used to catch myself gazing at the back of her head in class, at her silky, fair hair swaying between her shoulder blades.
If you'd glanced just once across the field, you'd have seen me standing in the middle on my own, looking straight at you, and you'd have gone back through the trees to the path quick, tugging your dog after you. You'd have known you'd given yourself away, even if only to me.
But you didn't. You had eyes only for Alice. Sue Townsend meets Zoë Heller in this dark, twisted, and heartbreakingly vulnerable tale.

I was absolutely gripped to the very end and indeed the very last sentence which brilliantly draws the story to a chilling conclusion.
Katy Sobey is an excellent narrator, delivering the story with economy but great skill. This is a first class listen and one I am thoroughly recommending.
A deeply dangerous love

What about Katy Sobey’s performance did you like?
Katy Sobey catches the narrator's voice perfectly. An oh-so-ordinary teenage near singsong which adds to the novel's chill, the steady, unvarying pace of which drives the listener mad as it jogs towards the story's end.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Shock. I originally bought this audiobook to have something to listen to while I knit during my journey to and from work. I really wasn't expecting what I got. At the end of the book I sat on the top deck of the no. 341 bus, gazing unseeingly out of the window, my knitting a complete tangle in my lap. I'm undoing the entire ruddy jersey at the moment!Any additional comments?
A heartbreaking, twisty tale of the unexpected. I shall be watching this writer's career with interest and picking up her future books with some trepidation...Thoroughly enjoyed - and never listening to it again!

Any additional comments?
The narrator was excellent as the young girl. However, it was so hard to listen to the main character's foolish need for attention and love. Had she come from a "bad" home, one may have had some sympathy but the schoolgirl crush and imagination were taken to extremes. I had to listen to the end because I was hoping something would make her come to her senses. A strange book without a satisfactory conclusion.Very strange and annoying but compulsive listening
