About this listen

A gripping thriller about fake friendships and the truth that lies behind the Facebook page, for fans of The Girlfriend and Friend Request.

We all know someone like Becca.

She has the job everyone wants, a designer wardrobe, a hot-shot lawyer boyfriend, holidays to exotic locations. And she flaunts her perfect life all over social media.

It drove her colleague Lizzie mad, but she couldn't stop looking. They were never really friends - and yet Lizzie knew everything about her.

Or did she?

When chance, and a terrible mistake, pulls Lizzie back into Becca's orbit years after they lost touch, she'll realise that you can't always believe what you see online... and that finding out the truth might be the worst thing you can do.

There's no such thing as a perfect life. Only a perfect lie.

Very good.

Took me quite a while to get used to the narration but it’s well worth persevering.

Great pace of a thriller!

Love the way this author keeps you changing your mind about the characters throughout. Frustrating end but very suited to the story!

Really good book

Great ending, I’m glad it wasn’t predictable. Twists and turns which makes you think you know what’s happening, until you don’t.

It was alright

It was alright, not thrilling but entertaining enough.


Way too long, I felt like giving up at many points in the book, would've enjoyed it more if it was shorter.

Didn't find myself caring about any of the characters, none of them was interesting enough.

Narration was good enough from both narrators, but again, nothing special.

All in all a 6 out of 10. Listened from beginning to end but lacked excitement and mystery.

Very Cleverly written!!

I really enjoyed this book, it was a really clever idea with a great twist in the tale. The ending could easily make way for a follow up. It would make a great film or TV series.
I don't want to say anything about the characters as it may give away some of the plot. The way the storyline unfolded was interesting and I never would have guessed the outcome.
The only criticism was the narrator that read Lizzies part. The voices for some of the people were ridiculous!! Why did she make the male Police officer sound so stupid??? He drawled and spoke so slowly that he sounded like he was drugged or drunk. Why did the narrator make any 'Northerners' sound thick? They sounded like Denise and Dave from the Royle Family TV show!! Does she think that that is how northerners talk? How the producers accepted her narration is beyond me - it was ridiculous and very off putting!
Apart from that, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others

Twisty!

This was so clever! All the way through I kept thinking I knew where it was headed and I was wrong each time. Just brilliant. Loved it.
