Best Friends Forever by Shannon Hollinger

Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

While this thriller was super predictable (to me anyway), it was pretty interesting route to get to the end. 

We follow a MC that is convinced she knows what happened during a traumatic event during her teenage years that caused her to leave her hometown and end friendships. After a phone call from her sister (who has remained mute since the incident) she returns to help her mother recover from an injury. Chaos ensues. 

While I know “who dunnit” almost immediately, there were enough red herrings and misdirections to make it less predictable than some. Even knowing (or being pretty sure anyway) where it was going, it was still and interesting journey. We hear about the past, learn about friendships and other relationships that had been going on throughout the course of the story and then the ending comes up and is equally dramatic. 

I received an audio copy through NetGalley and the narrator was perfect for this book. It was such a great listening experience.
