4 1/2 stars - This book is a real rollercoaster. I didn't read the details of this book before I started to read it so didn't know where it was going - which made the book even better for me. The book starts with a chance meeting between the two main characters Cara and Amy when there is a murder spree by two men on the streets of London. The book is well written and excellently plotted right to the last page.
Have read 3 other books by Karen Perry and enjoyed but this is far and away the best of her books.
I highly recommend this book.
Many thanks to Netgalley/Karen Perry/Pengin UK - Michael Joseph for a digital copy of this excellent novel. All opinions expressed are my own.

Wow. What an ending!! Kept me hooked throughout the book and the final twist wasn’t expected at all

I have literally just finished Your Closest Friend and I am reeling! It is a very fast paced thriller with the levels of tension building all the way through it so that when I reached the shocking conclusion I was left with my mouth open and saying Oh My Word!!

Told in the alternating voices of Cara and Amy, we meet both on the evening of a terror attack in London. Cara, standing in the street with an attacker coming toward her, freezes and is pulled in to safety by Amy. While hiding and waiting for the ordeal of the terror attack to be over, Cara, in a heightened sense of fear and anxiety, confides a lot to Amy about herself, her family and her life. Amy believes their meeting to be a sign that they were meant to meet. A game likened to cat and mouse ensues over the following months, but who is telling the truth, who is the real person behind the "YCF" ("Your Closest Friend") texts, can Cara figure it all out before it is too late?

I read this book in about 36 hours. I couldn't put it down and had to find out what was going to happen, and where it was all leading to. It is probably my favourite book so far of 2018. Having read and really enjoyed two previous titles by Karen Perry, I jumped on this book as soon as I saw it on NetGalley, I have to say that this book is a tour de force and probably Karen Perry's best book yet. I loved it and would give it 10 stars if I could. Fantastic.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the Publisher and of course Karen Perry for an advance copy of this book.
