I really enjoyed this book. Simple as. I look forward to reading more of her books.
Wow, what a surprise this book was! This gave me strong 'Big little lies' vibes, so a British version of that, if you will. What stood out the most is Cath Weeks' writing - absolutely captivating. Once I started this, I was immediately drawn in to the town of Milford and its residents. This is a domestic suspense drama done right.
An interesting story line rooted in long term relationships. Three women whose lives have been interwoven until they feel like family. The death of one throws doubts on all the bounds they, and their partners, have thought strong. I enjoyed the build up and uncertainty - a whodunnit- if anyone ! Will keep you guessing and I didn’t see the final twist coming.

The reason why I never read thrillers is mainly because I'm hard to thrill. I always end up knowing who did what and why and by the time I get to the middle of the book, I'm already bored.
I had the chance to read Friends Don't Lie before its publishing day - it rarely happens - and to be honest with you all - or whoever is reading this short review - I thought about DNFing it straight away. The first few pages are a little bit boring and I found it quite confusing to understand all the family dynamics - who married who and who's kids we're talking about? - but I persisted and I'm thankful I made that decision because this book was great.
These characters couldn't be more different and some of them - okay, just one - were a true pain in the ass but it was so intricate and it gave me that FOOLED YA! effect I really really like in thrillers.
If you're thinking about reading it, please do it. Don't just stop at the first few pages but keep reading, it's totally worth it!!
Now, we all know I hate spoiler reviews but seriously, that Melissa was so annoying and on everyone's case except her own. I hate those kinds of people...
