YOU WATCH HER. YOU WANT TO BE JUST LIKE HER. BUT DO YOU REALLY KNOW HER?

Rani’s life is far from idyllic – with two small children and a partner in a tiny rented flat that has never felt like home, she has always wished for a different life.

Then, Natalie moves into the large house across the road – and Rani can’t help but be drawn to her. To her life of luxury, to her perfect husband, her perfect house.

But not all is as it seems behind closed doors, and as Rani gets closer to Natalie, she discovers everyone has secrets – and some will stay with you for a lifetime . . .

A darkly compelling, emotive debut about two women who find themselves sucked into each other’s worlds – with devastating consequences. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Sally Hepworth.

Rani seem to be leading a lonely life with a husband and two children until Natalie moves next door to her house. The two women form an unlikely friendship and secrets are shared between them. To me initially, it started out a little boring but I felt in the middle of the book it got interesting. This was a slow paced thriller with some twists, the story mainly told from Rani’s and Natalie’s point of view. The ending in my opinion was good which raised my rating to 3.5 stars. Overall this was a good thriller–worth 3.5 stars. Many thanks to Netgalley and Hodder for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
