Friends Like These by Jennifer Lynn Alvarez

4.0

Jennifer Lynn Alvarez is such an exciting new voice in the world of young adult thrillers. Having loved her debut, I was highly anticipating the release of her sophomore novel and it did not disappoint. Addictive, fast paced and gritty, with a brilliant discussions surrounding rape (specifically male rape), sexual assault, substance abuse, grief and toxic friendships, Friends Like These was an emotive and twisty thriller I struggled to put down. I have a feeling Jennifer Lynn Alvarez has officially become an auto buy author for me…
