Her Closest Friend
by Clare Boyd
This was the first of Boyd's work that i have read, its classified as a mystery/thriller. It didn't really hit my thriller loving self until pretty much the end, but i would give it 3.5🌟
"She was my unsuitable friend. My Achilles heel. She was the drink you reach for when you know you've already had to much." -Her Closest Friend by Clare Boyd
This was a story about friendship, how far you would go and what lines you would cross.
Sophie and Naomi best friends since that one tragic night in university that would bond them together for the past 20 years. This is basically the only thing that holds their toxic relationship together. Although the book is based off of the mystery between Naomi and Sophie that no one knows about, not even their families, there are also several side plots. Sophie is going through a separation feeling alone trying everything even some blackmail to keep Naomi as her Closet friend. Naomi trying to forget her past and trying to acquire new friends and break away from the suffocating friendship she has with sophie. Secrets haunting them both, neither knowing how to deal or cope. Will their friendship prevail?
I throughly enjoyed this book the secrets that were haunting the main characters and the many side stories. Boyd did an excellent job at making the characters relatable and giving details into their inner turmoils, friendship, betrayl, cheating, love, addiction,heatbreak, family, death, tragedy, its all here and it all tied in together. Boyd surprised me with that bang of an ending i didn't see coming and can't wait to read another of Boyd's work.
I would like to thank @bookouture and @netgalley for a copy of Her Closest Friend in exchange for an honest review.
