Review: The Friend Who Lied

The Friend Who Lied by Rachel Amphlett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW

This starts with Lisa waking up in hospital, her first thought is that someone must have died. She has been very ill and needed a kidney transplant to stay alive and was only a short while from dying…..

She has no memory of the night she collapsed, other than a night out with her four friends to an escape room…one last chance to have fun together before she became too ill.

The story is told from multiple perspectives, Lisa being the main character, but David, Bec and Hayley also tell their side of the events…

I didn’t find any of the gang particularly likeable, but I certainly sympathised with Lisa and her struggle to come to terms with a potentially terminal condition…..what lengths would you go to for a friend…..to save a life?…or maybe to end one!

Brilliantly paced and full of simmering tension, guilt and toxic friendships…… was Simon’s death an accident or something more sinister……what was David’s hold over everyone? A compelling psychological thriller…..loved it.

Thank you to Sarah at Book On The Bright Side for the opportunity to participate in this blog tour and for the promotional materials and a free copy of the ebook. This is my honest, unbiased review.
