The Clique by Rhiannon Barnsley
3.0

Despite the inequalities within the workplace, high-flying lawyer Sara O'Neil has it all. She has the money, the power, and the career; and is on track to make partner in a prestigious firm. That's why everyone is confused when seemingly out of nowhere, she climbs to the terrace rooftop and jumps to her death. Her co-worker and friend, Cassandra, doesn't believe that Sara would end her life and decides to find out what really happened to her. Cass discovers Sara was part of an elite networking club for professional women and plans to infiltrate the group to reveal the secrets behind Sara's death, and there begins a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse.

The Clique was certainly a fun read. Although originally I struggled to get into the book due to its slow start, it really picked up in the last half of the book and I devoured it in one sitting. There were a few predictable twists but also some that I didn't see coming. Overall, it was a fun read I just couldn't get over how unrealistic the ending felt. I also found there weren't really any characters that I found memorable or relatable which is another factor that let it down as there was nobody to really root for or care about. Still, it was an enjoyable reading experience and I can see people liking this book if they're into the genre.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
