With FRIENDS LIKE THESE, Sarah Alderson has created a fascinating female monster. This cleverly plotted, well written book kept me engaged to the last page. The exploration of social media envy/fakery was incredibly dark but also caused me several winces of recognition. Compelling, timely, yet very original all at once.Captivating writing with just the right amount of twists and turns to keep you on your toes... Absolutely loved it!Sarah is a British born, LA based author and screenwriter.
