The Best Friend by Shalini Boland

3.0

Ok, I enjoyed this book, sort of, and read it in one evening. The characters are fully realised and they are absolutely despicable and made me so angry, which is the reason I read it in one evening, as I needed it resolved. A good look into toxic friendships, and the behaviours are extremely relateable to anyone who has very had/has a friendship like that.
My amazon version has the title The Best Friend: An Utterly Gripping Psychological Thriller with a Breathtaking Twist. Gripping because of anger yes. Breath taking twist, no. I guessed exactly what would happen in chapter 5, it was a reveal but def not a twist in any sense of the word.
I did like there was a satisfying resolution at the end.
