'Compelling... hauntingly dark' JANE SHEMILT
THEY CAN BUILD YOU UP
Charlotte has it all: the successful career, the loving family. But, secretly, she is dangerously bored of her life. So when she meets free-spirited Bianka, it feels like fate - Bianka is exactly the person that Charlotte needs.
OR TEAR YOU DOWN
On a girls' trip to Ibiza, home is forgotten as Charlotte dives head first into a life that is looser, wilder. She feels free, but there are devastating consequences: someone doesn't return home.
As the aftermath of the holiday rips through her life back in London, Charlotte soon regrets ever breaking out of her carefully constructed routine - and begins to wonder whether meeting Bianka was really an accident at all...
A fabulously creepy simmering 'glam-noir' thriller, perfect for fans of Caroline Kepnes, BA Paris, TM Logan and Verity by Colleen Hoover.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
A delight - a waspish dissection of friendship and rivalry in an affluent expat community in Wimbledon * The Times * Dark and compelling * Bella * An unsettling exploration of toxic friendship and complicated power dynamics, as well as the lengths people will go to in order to protect the lives they've created for themselves * Culturefly * Disturbing and fascinating in equal measure the novel delivers an astounding final twist - the perfect coup de grace * Promoting Crime Fiction * Toxic friendship, passion, betrayal, murder... Girl Friends tips glamour on its head and leaves you drunk on deceit. Nothing is what you expect. No one is who they seem. I loved it. * Rachel Wolf, author of Five Nights * I found Girl Friends compelling. I was deeply drawn into the world of the story, which was hauntingly dark; the characters were complex but relatable. Alex hooked me into a spectacular ride amid incredible settings. The writing is beautiful. -- Jane Shemilt, author The Patient
