Lizzie hasn't thought much about Becca since the accident.

She remembers the blood though. She can see how you wouldn't be the same again after something like that. No one was surprised when Becca didn't come back to work.

And Lizzie's different these days too. She used to be the one in the shadows, stalking Becca's perfect life online, but a lot has changed since then.

So when Becca's ex shows up on Tinder, Lizzie swipes right. Why not? Doesn't she deserve a chance at happiness as well?

Becca will have moved on. There's no way she'd even remember Lizzie, no way she could know anything about her life - is there?

She's about to find out that with a friend like Becca, she doesn't need enemies...


Cleverly written psychological thriller with such tight characters it is not possible to separate them as suspects to unravel this compulsive novel until the end.

Written from two peoples' perspective we are taken on a journey of intrigue and deception. Just when I thought I knew what was going on and who was the perpetrator up came another curve ball that made me question everything I thought I knew from the plot. Revenge, jealousy and a twisting madness all make for an addictive and compelling novel.

Unfortunately I didn't like many of the characters (with the exception of Flora) but despite this I did want to know how it all panned out which kept me going to the end. A good read and worth 4 stars.

I would like to thank the publisher for sending this in exchange for an honest review.
