My Review:
The Friendship Pact is another addictive thriller from the fabulous Alison James!
This story intrigued me from the start as I have always found the concept of friendship pacts to be fascinating. The two girls in this book are polar opposites to each other which I always enjoy as it’s great to see what they liked about each other and why they grew apart.
My favourite character in the book was Lucy who I felt a lot of sympathy for and the situation that she finds herself in. She seems very sad and defeated when we first meet her and I found myself wishing I could give her a huge hug. As with all great books there was also some characters I loved to hate, especially Lucy’s husband, who is an absolutely vile person. I found I wanted to keep reading to find out that Lucy was ok and that, hopefully, her husband wasn’t!
This is a hard book to review as I don’t want to give anything away but i thought this was a thoroughly grilling and suspenseful read which I raced through in a few days. There is a lot of domestic noir books out there at the moment but this is definitely one of the best I have read.
Huge thanks to Noelle from Bookouture for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley.
