Claudia's life seems to get worse and worse since her best friend committed suicide. Her husband leaves her. Her friends ignore her or talk trash about her. In the beginning, Claudia annoyed me as she always seemed to be the victim. but was the book went on, you see she really was the victim. I do believe the culprit is was very predictable. but not the reasoning behind. Some good suspense, but annoying how everyone just automatically believes trash people talk about each other. but still great book!

My best friends secret was a twisted dream of a book. Five women; pretty, privileged, perfect, and ultimately protected… but not for long…
It was ‘their’ dark secret.
For twenty-two-years they kept it buried.
Time hasn’t healed my wounds. Instead, they’ve festered.
Their actions went unpunished. Until now…
This book has a palpable tension that keeps the pages turning…..simply brilliant… I had to finish this marvelous thriller in one sitting! Taut and incredibly suspenseful, every moment is perfectly crafted to keep me wanting more.

Wowwee this book is just phenomenal. I was pulled in quickly to this one and craved more and more which resulted in me devouring this in just one sitting.

I adored Ramsay’s debut so was instantly excited about this one. I definitely wasn’t disappointed. Ramsay has delivered on every level.

We are introduced to a group of friends. These have been friends since school and know each other inside out. However, after a death in the friendship group we see things start to crack a bit.

Claudia is an interesting character, she has her own issues. Her marriage has its own troubles, she has things to deal with at work on top of everything.

This is perfectly paced and incredibly written. I was not putting this down until I had devoured every page. This was full of the unexpected and I couldn’t work out where this was going.

This book has everything that I had hoped it would. There are troubled friendships, relationship issues, a whole load of secrets and deception with a cast of characters you will have mixed feelings about.

I have adored this book. Ramsay is quickly becoming a must read author. I have no hesitation in recommending this book to other readers. This is truly worthy of all the praise.

Amazing book!
I was thoroughly engaged throughout this book and I didn't want to put it down! The author captured my attention from the get go! Five stars from me :)

This one starts off slow and even though I didnt like some of the characters I still kept reading and connected to the book. I loved hearing about all the friendships and I really didnt know who to trust.

This is a typical psychological thriller, which combines plenty of good elements to make you compelled to keep turning the pages.

That said, there's an awful lot of words which are unnecessary and felt very much like padding to increase the word count. It reminded me a lot of another book I read recently by Rachel Abbott. Although she executed it better, in my opinion.

Overall it's worth a read and will keep you gripped.

This book is an absolute corker! I couldn't put it down until I had discovered the secret that this group of friends were hiding. Revenge is a dish best served cold and in this case it's positively glacial.

Claudia is reeling from the sudden death of her best friend, especially when they weren't on the best of terms when Jaz died. As Claudia and her old schoolfriends Willow, Issie and Ava gather to pay their last respects, it's clear that something is being kept back from Claudia and paranoia sees her spiralling out of control.

I wanted to reach into the book and give Claudia a shake and a hug at the same time. She has hit the self-destruct button and has front row seats to watch her life blowing up spectacularly. My brain was whirring at a rate of knots as I tried to work out what was going on and just what the big secret was. Whilst I had some suspicions about particular characters, I really couldn't have guessed any of the explosive plot.

Fast-paced, gripping and chock-full of intrigue, My Best Friend's Secret has a razor-sharp plot that reminded me of a firework display; it fizzes and crackles with tension and as the smoke begins to clear there are yet more surprises in store. It's a fabulous psychological thriller and one I highly recommend.

I received a digital ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.

This has been sitting on my kindle for a while, but now wish that I had read it sooner.
It’s definitely Danielle Ramsay’s best book.
I was quickly drawn into the plot and characters, and raced through it. There were so many twists! A great read and one that I’d definitely recommend.

I read this so quickly, it is a real page turner. Creepy and full of twists, it kept me guessing right until the end

A brilliant, dark twisted tale from author Danielle Ramsay, I really enjoyed this one. Will be looking to read her others. 5 stars

Your best friend has a secret, but can you figure it out? WOW what a story, I was hooked from the start and couldn't put this one down. The twists and suspense just kept coming and I was intrigued. I recommend this book to everyone I talk to.

This book is a twisted murder mystery with a vague synopsis to keep readers guessing. Claudia's best friend, Jaz, has committed suicide, bringing their tight-knit group of friends back together. As they reconnect, Claudia must navigate her own marital problems and the chilling secrets from their past that are resurfacing. This book is a suspenseful and clever page-turner with a unique ending. Overall, it is a fantastic mystery/thriller that comes highly recommended.

This one did not do it for me at all, I was not able to get into it at all and had to stop reading. It was just annoying and the characters were also annoying.

My Best Friend's Secret by Danielle Ramsay was so good I ended up reading it in one sitting....So glad I had no work to go to. This book was excellent and It gripped me from the beginning till the very end.

Five women, and they have known each other since they were 11 years old. So no secrets between them. They are all pretty, privileged, and perfect in every way and they are ultimately protected…....but not for long….......

But, they have a secret and it's their’ dark secret. For twenty two years ‘they’ kept it buried. Time hasn’t healed my wounds. Instead, they’ve festered. But, their actions went unpunished. Until now…......WoW..........I want more!!!

It was fast paced with lots of twist and turns that will have you wanting more..... I just didn't want this book to finish.........I highly recommend this book....5 big stars....

Big Thank you to Netgalley and especially Boldwood Books for me ARC.

It is hard to say how I felt about this book without spoilers so suffice to say it really evoked some strong feelings in me, mainly on behalf of Claudia. It was a good read that as well as having an exciting plot really made me think, to wonder if the friendships we make at the age of 11 can carry on into our adult life.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

Fantastic premise for a story, plenty of plot twists and interesting. However, I found the main character unlikable and the writing style wasn't the best.

When one of Claudia's best friends seemingly commits suicide, the support and solace she is seeking from the rest of her friend group is nowhere to be found. A few bad decisions later, she she fins herself almost completely alone. But that's not enough for the shadowy person in the blurb. They want to expose Claudia's friend's secret and hurt Claudia (and her friends) while doing it.

This story was full of twists and turns but somehow dragged on a little for me. It also never helps when the narrator is not super likeable. Though the lodger's appearance made very little sense, it did throw a few more potential suspects into the mix (sorry Helena) and really did keep me guessing. Though I felt I caught onto the suspect's identity early on, nothing could have prepared me for the full details of the eventual motive and outcome - very well played there!

Thanks to Netgalley, Boldwood Books and Danielle Ramsay for the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved My Best Friend's Secret, I was hooked right from the start and I devoured it in a day.
The writing was excellent, I loved Danielle's style, it drew me right in. The characters were all complex, intriguing and likable, the storyline was creepy and gripping and the twists were crazy, I definitely didn't see them coming.

Claudia was an intense and emotional character, but she felt real and believable too. I was really pulled into her story, I cared what happened to her, which doesn't always happen in thrillers.

This was my first book from Danielle Ramsay and it won't be the last. I'll be looking up her previous books after I leave this review.

I very highly recommend.

5 stars from me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As I started reading this book, I was immediately hooked and couldn't stop until the very end. The plot was so intriguing that I found myself reading for hours, completely engrossed in the story. Despite my best efforts, I had no clue what was happening until the very end. However, my suspicions started to grow as the story progressed and I finally figured out who was responsible for the crimes that were committed. The book had a complex plot with murder, strange events, and friends turning suspicious. Every chapter was filled with suspense, and I was on the edge of my seat as I read through each twist and turn. Overall, this was an outstanding book that kept me captivated until the very last page.

A good plot with the pieces fitting together very well I would call this a good murder mystery and would recommend
