About this listen

‘I invited her in… and she took everything

A gripping story of friendship and betrayal from the Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author, Adele Parks…

‘Really REALLY good … absolutely brilliant’ Marian Keyes, No.1 bestselling author of Grown Ups

When Mel hears from a long-lost friend in need of help, she doesn’t hesitate to invite her to stay. Mel and Abi were best friends back in the day, sharing the highs and lows of student life, until Mel’s unplanned pregnancy made her drop out of her studies.

Now, seventeen years later, Mel and Abi’s lives couldn’t be more different. Mel is happily married, having raised her son on her own before meeting her husband, Ben. Now they share gorgeous girls and have a chaotic but happy family home, with three children.

Abi, meanwhile, followed her lover to LA for a glamorous life of parties, celebrity and indulgence. Everything was perfect, until she discovered her partner had been cheating on her. Seventeen years wasted, and nothing to show for it. So what Abi needs now is a true friend to lean on, to share her grief over a glass of wine, and to have some time to heal. And what better place than Mel’s house, with her lovely kids, and supportive husband…

This dark, unsettling tale of the reunion of long-lost friends is thoroughly gripping exploration of wanting what you can’t have, jealousy and revenge from Sunday Times Number One bestseller Adele Parks.

The Most Boring Book Ever

It literally put me to sleep. I tried 3 different times to listen to it, but couldn't get past chapter 4 because it was so boring. Total waste of time and money.

What a waste of time

Predictable storyline, too long descriptions which did not offer anything to the plot. Thankfully I skipped a few hours. Joanne Froggatt was very good and rescued at some degree the book. I will most definitely not listen to any other books by Adele Parks. Disappointing.

Get to the point

Too much ‘fluff’.
Hard to get in to. Repetitive. Too descriptive. Get to the point.

I picked this book because of Joanna Froggatt, brilliant as always. The book was predictable and didn't go anywhere.
