My review:

Emma and Mike have been married for a few years and have a 3 year old daughter, Arla.
Mike and Sophie have been best friends since childhood.
JB, Sophie’s husband, really makes the story interesting when they move in next door.

Emma never really got along with Sophie. They both make an effort to become friends for Mike’s sake though. Sophie seems like a conniving one, or is she? Since Emma is our only narrator I really didn’t know who to believe. And I really started to find her unreliable when she was talking to her dead mother and mother was talking back.

I totally think men and women can be best friends, but Mike and Sophie’s relationship was a little too close for my liking, but I’m not the wife so whatevs.

Overall, a fast paced, gripping psychological ride for this debut. I liked the twists and turns and was quite pleased with the ending. I enjoyed my first experience with this author and I’ll definitely be back for her to mess with my mind some more.

Book blurb:

He always said she was just a friend… What if she’d kill for more?

Sophie is perfect. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and when she smiles her teeth sparkle. And she cares; she’s passionate. Everybody loves her. So would I, except she’s my husband Mike’s best friend, and sometimes they seem a little too close for comfort.

This summer, Sophie is renting the grand house next door, bringing over fancy wine, offering to babysit our beautiful three-year-old daughter. It’s nice, actually. She’s smart and funny. Maybe the way she is with Mike – squeezing his arm, tilting her head when she laughs at his jokes – is just how she is with everybody.

But then she says something that sends a shiver down my spine – does she know something about me she shouldn’t?

And when her new husband arrives, looking slightly too familiar, I realise my time is running out. My baby girl and I are in terrible danger.

Sophie really is perfect. She has me perfectly trapped. And as my world begins to crumble, I start to wonder: does Sophie just want to steal my husband, or has she planned the perfect murder?

A completely unputdownable psychological thriller that will keep you flicking through your Kindle late into the night. Perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Guest List and anything by Louise Candlish, Erin Kelly or TM Logan.
