wvteddy 's review for:
The New Friend
by S.L. Harker
This was an enjoyable book that I read in one sitting. It did have an unexpected twist at the end, but overall it just didn't wow me. Hence the 3 star rating-just average.
Claire didn't have a career-she was just a wife supporting her husband Nick who had repeatedly cheated on her. Now that they are divorced she is trying to figure out what to do with her life. On a morning jog she encounters Vanessa whom she talks down from jumping off a bridge and they develop an unlikely friendship. I felt like this all happened too quickly. Claire talked her down too easily. She believed Vanessa's version of her life very readily and took her into her home to live. There were some inconsistencies in Vanessa's story that didn't register with Claire. There was a sense of unease throughout the book, knowing something was going to go wrong but not imagining the twists at the end.
