Our Little Secret by Roz Nay
4.0
Angela is questioned by the police regarding the disappearance of her ex-boyfriend's wife.
She denies any knowledge of the whereabouts of the missing woman, but agrees to tell her story if she can tell it her way. This means starting the tale ten years previous, when sixteen year old Angela met HP, her best friend and, briefly, her boyfriend. HP eventually meets and falls in love with Saskia, whom Angela initially blames for stealing HP away. Over the years, though – as Angela tells it -- she becomes a friend to both and a loving pseudo-aunt to their child. But her love/obsession with HP never goes away…
This is one of the best examples of an unreliable narrator I have read. Angela is intriguing, her mind a devious whirlwind as she spins a tale with no clue as to her lack of self-awareness. The ending was surprising. A cracking good read!
