Huge thanks to Libro.fm and Blackstone Publishing for my ALC of A FRIEND INDEED by Elka Ray!

I started off really enjoying this one - it has pretty strong Dead to Me (tv show!) vibes, which I'm obsessed with!

However, our two main characters quickly devolve as protagonists, becoming selfish and often oblivious to any and all common sense. I'm not often turned away by unlikeable lead characters, but Jo and Dana ultimately had me rolling my eyes more than I'd like to admit.

I think some readers will really enjoy this one, but it missed the mark for me a bit by the end.
