About this ebook

'A work of near genius' - Daily Mail

When best friends split, take care whose side you're on...

Best friends tell you everything; about their kitchen renovation; about their little girl’s schooling. How one of them is leaving the other for a younger model.

Best friends don’t tell lies. They don’t take up residence on your couch for weeks. They don’t call lawyers. They don’t make you choose sides.

Best friends don’t keep secrets about their past. They don't put you in danger.

Best friends don’t always stay best friends.

Ratings and reviews

Read it in one go, so interesting because it rocks your perception of how easily ordinary life can fall apart.

Started well but became rather tedious very quickly.

Starts really good but fades to ordinary with an obvious twist.
