This is a thriller that gets darker the more you read it has some twists that will leave you speechless (so good if your reading this in a library). I truly did enjoy every page. The story is of Lizzie and Becca, a few years back they work together for a leading PR company that was and still is highly successful. But these two were never friends with one envying the other, but it all changes one Christmas and both have a life changing works party. Becca's boyfriend James is the envy of Lizzie and her friend Florra.
Three years down the road and Lizzie spots James on tinder and well i will let you read it for yourself and i don't think you will be disappointed. The are some interesting use of Twitter and Facebook, but you can read about that for yourself as well.

I was very eager and excited to start reading this book, after I had read the blurb.

The story flows beautifully and is full of intense moments that make you so eager to continue on. The characters are well written and engaging.

I really could not recommend this book more to anyone,.

Not one of my favourite reads especially as there are so many better books in this genre but kept me reading.

I found this book a bit of a mixed bag to be honest. I enjoyed the first half of the book and the complexity of the main character Lizzie but unfortunately the second half and especially towards the later part of the book made me lose interest to it so took much longer to read because I wasn’t interested in picking it up.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I have to be honest I did not finish this book at all it was totally rubbish

One star is for books I didn't finish. Two for books I didn't enjoy reading, like this one. Too far fetched, even though the change in the main characters - how they appeared so differently from the beginning of the story - was interesting, but they were all too shallow. And the likeliness of things happening in Friend Like These, well... a bit too much for me.

Friends Like These is an interesting story. My feelings on central character Lizzie where very mixed at the beginning, but I was intrigued by her enough to carry on reading. The story quickly becomes very engrossing, and I really enjoyed reading it, up until around 80%. The last 20% was a mixed bag. The twists were good, so I enjoyed that but the ending I didn't enjoy so much. But people will enjoy the ending, it was rather Gone Girl-esque in a way.

Glad I read it, and grateful for my advanced copy so thank you.

Thank you to Nodder and Staughton for the opportunity to read and review this book. Friends like These is an edge of your seat novel that will make you cancel your plans for the evening. A deeply disturbing central character that is multifaceted and very hard to figure out, leaves the reader guessing where the story will end. Twisty and intriguing it delivers in the end.
