I did have to watch it twice on my own TV to believe it actually happened. And I still think maybe it was a fever dream. But the dog watched with me and she assures me it’s real—I was actually on @goodmorningamerica this morning and FRIENDS LIKE THESE is an @gmabookclub Buzz Pick! You can watch the full video at the link in my bio and learn more about reading along with GMA BookClub!
Happy weekend reading everyone! 📚

Thank you so much to these brilliant Bookstagrammers for giving me an excuse to call an early start the weekend. @serenaknautz @blondethrillerbooklover
And to the wonderful @blondethrillerbooklover for these lovely words about FRIENDS LIKE THESE:
“The character development, the plot and the pacing are all excellent. The setting feels authentic and vivid. The dialogue is sharp and witty. And McCreight’s writing is polished and simply flawless. I couldn’t read it fast enough.”

I’ve got a brand new type of podcast episode for y'all today! @kimberlymccreight (one of my go-to authors for smart thrillers and author of the new book, Friends Like These) makes her second appearance on the show. The last time she was on, she talked about her 2020 release, A Good Marriage. Today, she’s our resident expert on the Mysteries & Thrillers genre! She’s answering the questions you submitted about this genre that always has people chattering. We also talk about Friends Like These and what inspired that story!
_
We also talk about…
* The difference between a mystery and a thriller.
* How involved Kimberly and other authors are in determining which sub-genre their books will live in.
* How involved Kimberly and other authors are in determining their books’ titles.
* How Kimberly comes up with her titles and what makes a good title.
*If manuscripts are ever submitted without a working tile.
* How involved Kimberly and other authors are in determining their books’ jacket copy.
* What makes a good twist / ending.
* How Kimberly threads in her red herrings to lay the groundwork for a good twist.
* How Kimberly keeps her twists fresh amid the sea of thrillers out there.
* Whether Kimberly reads a lot within the thriller genre.
* Where Kimberly gets her inspiration from (or, more accurately, doesn’t get her inspiration from).
_
If you like the episode, I’d love it if you could subscribe, rate, and review the show wherever you listen to podcasts!

FRIENDS LIKE THESE by @kimberlymccreight is another stunner by one hell of a storyteller. I loved how atmospheric and cinematic this story was and could easily see it as a series! McCreight flawlessly weaves together multiple POVs and storylines to create a story that I found impossible to put down. The battle between my feelings of not wanting this one to end and also craving all of the answers I was looking for was intense, but McCreight provided the ultimate psychological thriller. I can’t wait to read her whole backlist!
My casting choices would be:
Sophia Bush as Detective Julia Scutt
Henry Golding as Jonathan Cheung
Haley Bennett as Maeve Travis
Aja Naomi King as Stephanie Allen
Tom Hopper as Derrick Chism
Kyle Gallner as Keith Lazard
Jake Weary as Finch Hendrix
Joshua Jackson as Dan
Colton Haynes as Peter
Scott Eastwood as Luke Gaffney
Britt Robertson as Crystal Finnegan
Eliza Scanlen as Alice
and
Jeff Daniels as Chief Seldon
