Throughout her whole life, Clare has never quite found her ‘tribe’.
She decides to reinvent herself and bumps into Tabitha – the complete opposite of Clare: magnetic, flashy, and seriously loaded.
Clare finds herself drawn into Tabitha’s crew, and it’s everything she ever dreamed of. Until it isn’t. Because these friends aren’t what they appear to be.
And they’ve had their sights set on Clare all along..
This explored intricate human connections, revealing both the beauty and ugliness in friendships. I enjoyed the story’s dark undertone.
However there was a lot of 'nothingness' to the story. Empty words to fill the pages. Or that's what it felt like to me anyway. I got bored real quick.
After I finished this book I forgot that I'd even read it.
