The Best Friend by Shalini Boland
4.0
3.5⭐
Predictability galore and not an original plot for this fast paced, psychological thriller, but I still liked it.
Louisa and Darcy meet and become fast friends. Their husbands, Jared and Mike, are getting along well and their young boys, Joe and Tyler, often play together. Louisa is just a smidgen jealous of Darcy's wealth. But it turns out that Darcy is slowly trying to take what Louisa has, or is Louisa just being paranoid and that isn't the way it is at all?
The birthday party mishap broke my heart for poor, sweet Joe.
Told mostly in Louisa's perspective with some flashbacks to the 90's and early 2000's about a not so nice person, which gives a little mystery aspect.
Narration:
Katie Villa ~ 8 hours ~ she did a nice job keeping me engaged with the story.
Overall, this was a decent thriller, but not overly wowable for seasoned thriller readers.
