With friends like these….

Louisa has a new friend, Darcy who appears to have it all – a wonderful husband, money, social status. But she also has something else -a deep dark secret. As Louisa beings to get closer to her friend, she finds that all that glitters is not gold.

It is evident in the beginning that things are not right. Darcy is a little too helpful, a little into running with Louisa’s husband and a little too in your face to Louisa’s taste. Soon the red flags are flying all over the place.

It is evident that Darcy has secrets. I wanted to tell them to “come out, come out wherever you are!” as it was obvious that they were hiding. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Louisa when no one and I mean no one would believe her – not even her husband.

This was an enjoyable audiobook, and I enjoyed the narrator. I wanted to give a couple characters a piece of my mind while listening to this book. Good Lord, some people must have been born with blinders on.

There is more to this story than meets the eye. I enjoyed that as the story was progressing, I was learning more and some things begin to make sense but as usual, Boland does keep a few aces up her sleeve.

Was this my favorite book by Boland? No, but I did enjoy this one! It was entertaining, dramatic, and kept me fully invested in what was happening. Boland knows how to write twists and unlikeable characters. I’ll be on the lookout for what she writes next.

Thank you to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
