Keep Your Friends Close by Lucinda Berry

Women bond over secrets. That's what female friendship are made of- shared secrets

I love a good book based on rich ladies acting unhinged. It’s such a guilty pleasure.

THE ENDING HAD MY JAW ON THE FLOOR. LIKE WTF

“You know how women can get. When it comes to friendships, sometimes I don’t think we ever grow past the fourth grade, you know? Like she’s my best friends, so you can't play with her"

Hey Siri play Bad Blood by Taylor Swift

This story had me engaged from the very first page.

The Plot- Kiersten was found dead in her backyard at her own party surrounded by her closet friends. So who did it? Her death was no accident.

The story is told from different characters POV’s from past and present.

All the characters in this book had secrets and they were all suspicious. I was playing detective trying figure out who the murderer was up until the last 20 pages. Then there was a clue and it all made sense.

I was rooting for one of the girls throughout the book but then she pulled some crazy shit at the end. Separate from the murder investigation. I couldn’t even believe it. I was sad af.

This is my first book from the Author and won’t be my last.
