I thought this was going to be lighthearted - it really wasn’t! And I loved it!

Three best friends Simi, Ronke and Boo are living their lives in London when a face from the past, an old friend of Simi’s, Isobel appears. Rich and privileged she befriends each of the women - but is her friendship quite as it seems?

With a group of complex women, all great characters in their own right and a mysterious and thrilling plot, this was a rollercoaster of a read! It would have been a 5* but I was anticipating more from the ending - the reveal was great, it all just ended a bit quickly and I wanted just a few pages more. Very highly recommended.
