Description

A life-changing secret destroys an unlikely friendship in this "magnetic" psychological thriller from the Edgar Award-winning author of Dare Me and The Turnout (Meg Wolitzer).

You told each other everything. Then she told you too much.

Kit has risen to the top of her profession and is on the brink of achieving everything she wanted. She hasn't let anything stop her.

But now someone else is standing in her way: Diane. Best friends at seventeen, their shared ambition made them inseparable. Until the day Diane told Kit her secret -- the worst thing she'd ever done, the worst thing Kit could imagine -- and it blew their friendship apart.

Kit is still the only person who knows what Diane did. And now Diane knows something about Kit that could destroy everything she's worked so hard for.

How far would Kit go to make the hard work, the sacrifice, worth it in the end? What wouldn't she give up? Diane thinks Kit is just like her. Maybe she's right. Ambition: it's in the blood . . .

Shortlisted for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award

    I’m halfway through this book and I’m having trouble finishing it. It’s pretty boring. I don’t really care about these characters or the author’s style of writing.

    The subject of Dr Severin’s research should have been the heart and soul of this poorly written, jejune novel. Instead we have characters missing everything: motive, depth, and drive. Instead we have every promising plot point blocked by a stunning lack of imaginative power on the part of this sad little author and her sad little scribble.
