#Book #Review Keep Your Friends Close by Joanne Ryan

She knows your darkest secret… Can she keep it?

It’s a normal sunny day when Mia sees her ex-boyfriend on the street where she lives. But she knows that’s crazy. She knows it can’t possibly be him. She knows… because she killed him.

Mia and Carrie have been best friends since school. They share everything: clothes, shoes, a home… and their secrets.

Only Carrie knew what Mia did that night. Where everything went wrong and Mia’s boyfriend attacked her, so she attacked him right back.

Carrie made the problem go away. Like she always would for her best friend. They’ve got on with their lives. Mia’s even met someone new – a man she thinks she could be with forever.

But now it looks like her ex is back. Alive and well. So either Mia is losing her mind, or somebody very close to her has been lying…


REVIEW

Mia feels she is seeing things and becoming slightly unhinged when she keeps catching a glimpse of her ex-boyfriend, yet it can’t be him as she killed him…. right? He best friend Carrie is the only one who knows what happened that night and helped cover it up, like a true friend she was there for Mia, but yet I didn’t really take to Carrie.

The story was a bit slow at time and repetitive, but it added to thrill of getting to the bottom of what was happening to Mia. This book was twisty for sure but that ending…. I may have predicted elements throughout but I was not expecting that turn of events at the end!

Rating: 4 out of 5.
