Welcome to my blog tour post!
Best friends tell each other everything.Or do they?
Georgia and Lydia have been best friends for over 20 years. Lydia’s parents died in a car crash when they were both studying illustration at college and Georgia was there to help her through. They became very close, in fact more like sisters, as Lydia had no other family other than an auntie living in America.

20 YEARS LATER
Georgia is happily married and has grown up twins who have flown the nest. She has become a successful author, creating and illustrating a series of children’s books about Wilbur the Wallaby. She feels guilty about her success around Lydia who has not progressed very far with her career, and Georgia is unaware she is always on the search for a book deal which has never happened. She is still single and lives alone but is obsessive about posting images of herself and her ‘happy’ life on Instagram.
Georgia and her husband Nick decide to adopt a rescue dog and along comes Igor, the biggest, friendliest dog you could imagine.
When Georgia sets up a fake Twitter account as ‘Patricia’ to try to boost Lydia’s dwindling confidence, she has no idea this will set the ball rolling with a series of events which threaten her friendships and even her happy marriage. Lydia starts confiding in ‘Patricia’ by Twitter messages secrets she knows about Georgia.
Lydia has always hidden her resentment at Georgia’s happy life and success but she has a plan in place to get what she wants, and not even her best friend will get in her way.

My thoughts on the book
I raced through this book. What a joy to read! It is the second of Jane’s books I have read and she is now up there with my favourite authors. The writing style is so easy to get absorbed in. Although most of the events are quite serious I love the humour Jane adds and had a few laugh out loud moments, especially around Igor. I loved Igor!
I enjoyed reading about the friendships, betrayed trust, deep resentment but also successes and forgiveness.
The book was written from Georgia’s point of view until the end of part one of the book so we had no idea what Lydia was thinking. In part two we begin to hear from Lydia and it throws what we think we know up in the air!
Highly recommended!
