Also, the stakes are a bit out wack, each of the friends in the book club have a secret that they don't want to share but the main character Lucy seems to have very little to lose by telling people her secret, in comparison to the rest of them. The premise is great – Alice seeking revenge on Lucy (for an unknown reason at the start) by driving a wedge between friends. I could give the book more credit than it deserves by suggesting it's a commentary on shallow friendship and today's society of self-absorption, but I think it was more plot convenience, so that Alice's elaborate plan could go ahead flawlessly, when in reality there was about 1001 ways it would have gone wrong. I loved this book - tightly plotted, edge-of-seat gripping and likely to make you want to avoid book groups for the foreseeable future!

If you belong to a book club, you might start wondering about the other people in the group and their choice of reading material after finishing this page-turner.As for Lucy, she's put on edge by Alice, and comes to suspect that Alice is there to get revenge and destroy her life - but what could her motive possibly be?

None of the characters were particularly likeable, and I found myself not really caring about what happened to any of them. It was also interesting to see just how easy the odd comment from an outsider caused a rift in the friendships and it made me wonder were they really that close in the first place? Creating trust issues and bickering between the friends it becomes obvious that Alice is out for revenge.This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use.

Overall a wonderful thriller, with a nice pace throughout; a perfect read especially for this time of year. How could Alice get hold of paralysing drugs and why did she let Lucy go rather than be sure she had succeed with the revenge she had plotted for so long. it was good but average, the was the sense of mystery and suspense the whole way through the book which i loved. We know from the get-go that Alice wants to destroy Lucy's life - the only mystery is what her motive actually is.As far as motives go, it was a bit ludicrous (despite the twist that she might not even have been pregnant).
