About this listen
Abby and Hetty are best friends. Aren't they?
A deliciously dark novel about the unravelling of a friendship, for fans of Liane Moriarty, Taylor Jenkins Reid and Donna Tartt. Narrated by Nicola Coughlan (Derry Girls, Bridgerton).
Life’s not going well for forty-year-old Abby. When her beautiful and charismatic best friend dies suddenly, she’s left reeling. Hetty’s always been such a dominant force in her life; now Abby must figure out who she is – and who she wants to be – without Hetty by her side. Abby has always been the odd one out in Hetty’s wealthy, privileged friendship group.
Despite their differences, Abby has managed to carve out a place for herself. But Hetty isn’t an easy friend to have. She blows hot and cold, alternating between fierce loyalty and unwarranted cruelty. Abby accepts both versions of Hetty, just grateful for the attention … until she’s not. From divorces and weddings, via awkward dinner parties and dead-end relationships, to soul-sucking first jobs and dubious flatshares, Abby recounts the story of her great friendship with Hetty in reverse.
Finally, we meet Abby and Hetty when they first meet each other: as fresh-faced eighteen-year-olds with their whole lives ahead of them…and no idea of the tragedy that lies ahead.

Nicola Coughlan’s performance. Stand out
Good story guessed the twist but very listenable. Narration was terrific, a gentle listen and Penny was a great character

Great narration
The characters were so well developed I felt I really knew them. At times Abby’s lack of confidence and inability to bring Hetty to answer to her selfishness was frustrating. All in all a well constructed story.

Lovely reading voice
I liked this novel a lot. Wasn’t going to go past the first five minutes as I’m more of a Reacher and action buff. But the narrator’s voice just somehow drew me in and I stayed..

Beautifully read
Guessing the ending from the beginning did not spoil my enjoyment of this story. Great characterisation and so brilliantly read.

Fantastic story
Wonderful audio book. Nicola Coughlan was an amazing narrator bringing the story to life. As a 40 year old, the characters were lifelike and felt really relevant.

Wonderful story with excellent narration
An incredible listen and Nicola Coughlan is the star of the show. If accents were an Olympian sport she would be taking home all of the golds. Superb.

Really felt like I was ‘in the world’ of the story. Great finale. Thoroughly enjoyable.
