The Best Friend
by Jessica Fellowes
Do you ever finish a book and think, what was the point? Because that’s exactly what happened with me here. It follows two women who are childhood best friends and it jumps from different ages in a really fast and strange way. One chapter they’re 14, the next 17 and then the next 31. You don’t spend much time at any particular age range either so I always felt like I was just getting the very tip of the iceberg in terms of who these women are. I’ve seen some reviews that say the print version is hard to follow when people are having a conversation but that wasn’t an issue with the audio version as there were two narrators so it was easy to figure out who was talking. One last thing that made this not work for me was the authors style of revealing important information. She did this weird thing where you feel like you missed something but it had to have been intentional because it was used constantly. You were basically left on your own to piece together so many pretty big events and while I get it and was able to, like just tell me already what’s with the secrecy? I don’t want to feel left in the dark as a reader. Overall this wasn’t the book for me
