What to expect
You think you met her by chance.
You're wrong.
Charlotte has it all: the successful career, the loving family. But, secretly, she is dangerously bored of her rigid and structured life.
Bianka is a free spirit, always the life and soul. When she and Charlotte meet, it feels like fate – Bianka is exactly the person that Charlotte needs.
When they escape to Ibiza for a girls’ trip, home is soon forgotten. Charlotte dives head first into a life that is looser, wilder. But the holiday soon spirals out of control with fatal consequences – someone doesn’t return home.
Charlotte soon regrets ever breaking out of her carefully constructed routine. And as the aftermath of the trip ricochets disastrously through her life, she wonders whether meeting Bianka was really an accident – or something much more calculated . . .
A fabulously creepy simmering ‘glam-noir’ thriller, perfect for fans of Caroline Kepnes, BA Paris, TM Logan and Verity by Colleen Hoover.
Readers can't get enough of Alex Dahl . . .

Toxic friendship, passion, betrayal, murder... Girl Friends tips glamour on its head and leaves you drunk on deceit. Nothing is what you expect. No one is who they seem. I loved it.

I found Girl Friends compelling. I was deeply drawn into the world of the story, which was hauntingly dark; the characters were complex but relatable. Alex hooked me into a spectacular ride amid incredible settings. The writing is beautiful.
