NOW READING: Friends Like These⁣
⁣
Kimberly McCreight is a fabulous thriller author and I truly loved her last book, A Good Marriage, so I knew that I needed to read her upcoming release, FRIENDS LIKE THESE. I’m not too far into the story, but I’m getting major Ruth Ware In a Dark, Dark Wood vibes and I ain’t mad about it! Full synopsis below, but I’ll definitely report back to all of you soon once I finish. Are you excited for FRIENDS LIKE THESE?⁣
⁣
SYNOPSIS⁣
In this relentlessly twisty literary thriller from New York Times bestselling author Kimberly McCreight, a desperate intervention brings together a group of college friends 10 years after graduation—a reunion marked by lies, betrayal, and murder.⁣
⁣
Everyone has those friends. Doesn’t matter how long it’s been, or how badly they’ve occasionally behaved, or how late it is when that call finally comes—you show up. No questions asked.⁣
⁣
Honestly, that’s how the five of us ended up here in the Catskills. We did have the best of intentions. Especially after what happened to Alice all those years ago, we can’t bear to think of losing anyone else. In fact, we’ll do anything to make sure that doesn’t happen. We’ll go so much farther than we ever thought we would.⁣
⁣
In the end, maybe that’s what caught up with us. That, and the fact that we’re such a complicated group—so much history and so many big personalities. Secrets, too, that can slip out at the most inopportune moments. Of course, we love each other despite all of those things. We love each other no matter what.⁣
⁣
There’s something so beautiful about that kind of unconditional love. It can turn ugly, though. Or maybe that’s just us. After all, we’ve already been through so much together. And we have so very much to hide.

I’m so happy that Friends Like These by @kimberlymccreight arrived in my mailbox today! This is one my most anticipated thrillers coming out this fall. My favorite blurb on Amazon about this book is from @sallyhepworth - “With twists and turns and secrets on every page, and an ending you WILL NOT SEE COMING, this one is utterly unforgettable.” 🤩🤩

Just when I thought I’d never find a souvenir. He fits in my suitcase. I already checked. Once a horse girl, always a horse girl. Thank you for an afternoon of perfection @lelenaeva.

Thank you so much to this very special group of Park Slope Women...

Thank you so much to this very special group of Park Slope Women who had me join their wonderful Book club discussion of A GOOD MARRIAGE tonight. The group is especially special because it includes former Bronx County Prosecutor @allymeierhans who has been such an invaluable expert for A GOOD MARRIAGE. Thank you, thank you Ally—could not have been written without your wisdom. And, ironically, I met Ally when her group read WHERE THEY FOUND HER and she mentioned she was a prosecutor and I pounced. So, if I do a book club with your group, you may want to keep your occupations to yourselves. I will take my experts wherever I can find them!

We’re so lucky to be spending #NationalFriendshipday reading FRIENDS LIKE THESE! “Too much loyalty—that’s the real problem. Best friends are supposed to stand by you no matter what mistakes you make or how deep your flaws. They disregard your occasionally disagreeable nature and your eccentricities and accept the whole of you. That’s the beauty of true friendship. But close friends can also let you get away with too much. And what feels like total acceptance, what masquerades as unconditional love, can turn toxic.” A twisty, thrilling roller-coaster of a novel, FRIENDS LIKE THESE is also an emotionally resonant mystery that examines the risks of blind loyalty and the harrowing complexities of unconditional love. Pre-order your copy now & don’t miss @kimberlymccreight in conversation with @oyejohn52 Saturday 9/11 1pm @woodmemoriallibraryandmuseum in South Windsor, CT! #friendslikethese #arc #book #read #tbr #literarythriller #preorder #authorevent #sw06074 #bookstagram #bookclub #shopsmall
