Summary
"I can tell we’re going to be the best of friends...."
When Louisa Sullivan takes her little boy to his first playdate at a new friend’s house, she doesn’t realize life is about to change for her family. Because she’s about to meet Darcy Lane.
Darcy is a woman who has everything—a dream house, a powerful husband, and enviable wealth.
She’s the perfect wife.
The perfect friend.
The perfect liar.
From the top 10 best-selling author of The Secret Mother and The Child Next Door, this utterly gripping psychological thriller will have you up all night. If you loved Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and The Wife Between Us, this book is for you.

I loved this!
A bit far fetched at the end, but thoroughly enjoyable regardless! Another good one by Shalini Boland. xx9

The Best Friend
Well I was captured by this story and the fantastic narration until the last few chapters when it turned quite ridiculous! However I had kind of predicted the way it would go but it was a bit daft all the same. Enjoyable though and it shouldn’t deter anyone who was thinking of choosing it.

Fabulous Listen
I have finished this book after 2 days. A brilliant story which although took a few chapters to get into was just brilliant. This is the third book I have listed to by Shalini Boland and have already downloaded my fourth. Brilliant narration by Katie Villa too.
Highly recommend.

A bit silly and too far fetched at times.
I try not to give anything away when I review a book as I hate it when someone puts ‘rubbish ending’ or ‘she dies in the end’ so I’ll just say that it’s got a very silly protagonist telling the story. I wanted to shake her & say stop being so dopey. I finished it but that was mainly in respect to the excellent narrator.

Has Shalini read / watched fifty shades of grey ?
The Best Friend I had somewhat guessed just under halfway through listening to this one from Shalini whst the outcome would be some what. when the fostering and adoption came into the book a jealous other child who had been in foster care and overlooked for another one. Of course there are vast differences in books I won't say too much for it to be a spoiler alert. I still quite enjoyed it not nearly as much as some of the others but still a decent listen. narration was fantastic as always from Katie villa

The story could be written by a 6 year old!
I struggled to finish this. Extremely boring, slow and predictable . No idea how it got the high ratings. The narrator is very good though. But the story is lacking humor, suspense...basically it's the most boring reads I've experienced for months

Wingy main character
Very annoying and wingy main character. Completely improbable storyline. The husband is painfully stupid. The worst of Boland’s books I’ve listened to. I fast forwarded to the end and was relieved when I reached it.
