What to expect
'I utterly devoured He Would Never . . . brilliant characterisation, wonderful writing, I loved it!' — Marian Keyes, bestselling author of Again, Rachel
Five families. Fourteen years of secrets. One long weekend.
Do you stand by your sisterhood, or face the chilling reality that a monster is sitting across the fire?
It started as a lifeline for five exhausted new mothers. Now, their annual trek to Green River is a sacred ritual; a week of flickering campfires, humid nights, and shared history.
But this year, the trip feels different. The air is heavy, the teenage children are restless, and the supposedly unbreakable bonds of the group are finally beginning to snap.
As the heat climbs, decade-old secrets boil over. A whispered allegation forces a devastating divide. How far will you go to protect a friend. . . and when does loyalty become a crime?
He Would Never is a simmering psychological drama about the fragile trust we place in the people we love most, from bestselling author Holly Wainwright.
