Toxic friendship, passion, betrayal, murder... <i>Girl Friends</i> tips glamour on its head and leaves you drunk on deceit. Nothing is what you expect. No one is who they seem. I loved it.

Rachel Wolf, author of Five Nights

I found <i>Girl Friends</i> compelling. I was deeply drawn into the world of the story, which was hauntingly dark; the characters were complex but relatable. Alex hooked me into a spectacular ride amid incredible settings. The writing is beautiful.
