Two sides, one story; who do you believe?

We’ve all had that friend.

The one you trusted with everything.
Anna and Gemma have been inseparable since the day they met. Best friends. Confidantes. The kind of friendship other people envy.

Until it starts to feel like something else.

When Anna begins a relationship with her boss, Will, she thinks she’s finally found something that’s hers alone. But Gemma is suddenly everywhere, refusing to be left out.

At first, Anna tells herself it’s nothing. That this is just how Gemma is - intense... loyal... maybe a little too involved.

But Gemma is saying one thing, and Will is saying another.

And the truth doesn’t add up.

Because Gemma doesn’t just want to be part of Anna’s life.

She wants control.

As the cracks begin to show, Anna realises she isn’t just losing her best friend, she’s caught in something far more dangerous.

And by the time she sees it clearly, it may already be too late.

A dark, addictive psychological suspense about toxic friendship, obsession and betrayal.
Perfect for fans of Adele Parks and Liane Moriarty.
