Jane Fallon is my dependable easy-read and I quite liked this one.
Some of it was a bit over the top but I thought the villain was great and very unlikeable!

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from netgalley
I’ll be honest. I requested this because it looked like a thriller. Clearly I didn’t look at the cover. I don’t like chick lit. I’m not lovey. I like analysing etc.
I nearly. So nearly gave up on this about half way in. And I’m glad I didn’t!!! I loved it!!
A little predictable. But it did have some twists! Really enjoyed this and it’s opened my mind a little to books I wouldn’t normally read.

Įprastai mėgstu tokio žanro knygas, tačiau ši ne itin patiko. Nors kita jos knyga „Velniškai saldus kerštas“ man labai patiko, o ši nepaliko didelio įspūdžio. Knygoje labai ištempti pasakojimai iš praeities ir jie kartojasi dažnai knygoje skaitant kitus skyrius. Pasakojimas smagus, netrūksta humoro ar paslapčių, tačiau galbūt visko per daug, nes niekaip neįtraukė, skaičiau ir norėjosi vietomis perversti puslapius. Nors negaliu sakyti, kad nepatiko, bet ar rekomenduočiau? Tikriausiai. Tiems kuriems patinka intrigos, emocijų persmelktas pasakojimas ir kas nori tiesiog savęs neapkrauti. Ramiems ir ilgiems vasaros vakarams.

I think most women are familiar with the term 'frenemy' - we have all probably had one at some time in our lives! But what happens when a frenemy goes beyond mere envy/jealousy and actually starts sabotaging and dismantling your life - going so far as moving into your flat and stealing your fiance? This is the situation Amy finds herself in with her 'best friend' Melissa. An actress away on a shoot, Amy returns to London to find the presence of another woman in her flat, her philandering fiance Jack is covering it all up, and when Amy finds out who the other woman is, she decides to act as though she knows nothing, and plot her revenge on both Melissa and Jack. Events start to dramatically spiral out of control very quickly and I was definitely compelled to keep turning the pages to find out what happened next, and how ultimately things turned out. (no spoilers!)
For me, Faking Friends is less a thriller and more about the dark side of female friendships. While the story is very entertaining and absorbing, I think the main message I took away from Faking Friends is how important it is to fight back when you are treated badly. I don't know if I'd go to the intricate lengths Amy does (!) but the message of 'don't take it lying down - fight back 'was surprisingly powerful.
