What did I think?
This book is an absolute corker! I couldn't put it down until I had discovered the secret that this group of friends were hiding. Revenge is a dish best served cold and in this case it's positively glacial.
Claudia is reeling from the sudden death of her best friend, especially when they weren't on the best of terms when Jaz died. As Claudia and her old schoolfriends Willow, Issie and Ava gather to pay their last respects, it's clear that something is being kept back from Claudia and paranoia sees her spiralling out of control.
I wanted to reach into the book and give Claudia a shake and a hug at the same time. She has hit the self-destruct button and has front row seats to watch her life blowing up spectacularly. My brain was whirring at a rate of knots as I tried to work out what was going on and just what the big secret was. Whilst I had some suspicions about particular characters, I really couldn't have guessed any of the explosive plot.
Fast-paced, gripping and chock-full of intrigue, My Best Friend's Secret has a razor-sharp plot that reminded me of a firework display; it fizzes and crackles with tension and as the smoke begins to clear there are yet more surprises in store. It's a fabulous psychological thriller and one I highly recommend.
I received a digital ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
