About the book

Best friends tell each other everything.Or do they?

Georgia and Lydia are so close, they’re practically sisters.

So when Lydia starts an online business that struggles, Georgia wants to help her – but Lydia’s not the kind to accept a handout. Setting up a fake Twitter account, Georgia hopes to give her friend some anonymous moral support by posing as a potential customer.

But then Lydia starts confiding in her new internet buddy and Georgia discovers she doesn’t know her quite as well as she thought. Georgia knows she should reveal the truth – especially when Lydia starts talking about her – but she just can’t help herself.

Until Lydia reveals a secret that could not only end their friendship, but also blow-up Georgia’s marriage . . .

Georgia’s in too deep.

But what can she save?

Her marriage, her friendship – or just herself?

My thoughts

I knew as soon as I started this book that the title was a prophecy of what is about to happen. When Georgia decides to pretend to be a fan of Lydia’s art on Etsy she invents a fake persona and social media account. Lydia is really happy that someone is interested in her work at last. Georgia has a good career and is comfortable and Lydia has never really found her own niche.

The pair have been friends for many years and Georgia is sad that Lydia is so dejected. Lydia is also single and although she has a busy social life, unlike Georgia she has no family. So when Patricia and Lydia start chatting via messages, she is shocked as the conversation turns to her and Lydia’s relationship.

This is my first book that I have read of Jane’s and I know she has a huge fan base and I can see why. When they are chatting one night Lydia reveals that she knows a devastating secret about Georgia and Georgia is shocked and needs to find out what it is.

What follows is tense and revealing and Georgia cannot let it go even if it means that her own life may be falling apart. This is a really great look at friendship, deceit, betrayal and revenge. It is really tense and I could not stop reading even though at some points it really made me cringe as the secrets start to be uncovered and can the relationships ever be repaired ?

A really insightful and thought provoking book about female friendship and how it can go from good to bad and the consequences of trying to fix things for other people. As I said my first book by Jane but I loved it and I will definitely recommending and reading more.
