Best Friends Forever by Margot Hunt is about two different women that by chance become friends one day when their airplane was delayed. Alice is a stay at home mother who has two children and a marriage that feels strained at times due to her and her husband, Todd living paycheck to paycheck. Kat, on the other hand, is a wealthy woman who owns an art gallery. Kat and Alice tend to go on a lot of lunch dates and confide in one another as well as tell each other secrets. Kat’s husband, Howard was found dead at their home one night while Kat was not home. Police are thinking it was not an accidental death from Howard being drunk or a suicide attempt, but he was actually murdered. Kat will not return any of Alice’s phone calls, text messages, and basically ignores Alice all around.

The story is told in past and present. I really enjoyed reading how Kat and Alice first met, then how their relationship grew and progressed. Then, I enjoyed reading the present-day sections to see how Alice was coping with Kat not wanting to be around, the police investigation, and how life went on without her best friend as well as finding out a new narrative about Kat.

This book was fast paced and I never found a dull moment in the book. Margot Hunt’s writing made me want to know more about Kat and Alice’s friendship as well as their marriages. Also, I wanted to know if Howard was murdered or not, and if he was, then I wanted to know who actually murdered him.


Best Friends Forever releases on January 23, and I cannot wait to see more work from Margot Hunt in the future.
