It’s been years since Grace, Felicity, Alice and Hannah were together – The Wild Girls, as they were once called, are no longer so wild. Alice has settled with a new baby and partner. Hannah is now a teacher. Grace has gone to ground. Only Felicity seems to have the same spark she once had.
And now Felicity has invited them all on the weekend of a lifetime – a mini-break in Botswana to celebrate her birthday, a chance to put that night two years ago behind them, when things went so very wrong between them, and their bomb-proof friendship was shattered for ever.
But on arriving at the luxury safari lodge, a feeling of unease settles on Grace, Hannah and Alice. Felicity isn’t there to meet them. There’s no sign of the party she promised. The awful phone signal means that they are on their own, in the wild…
It’s a weekend with a difference. But who is hunting who?
I have no idea what to say about this book. Every time I thought I knew what was going on, something happened to change things. I never had any real idea who was behind everything.
I've been lucky enough to read several books with fabulous descriptions lately. This is another; Botswana sounds amazing, all blue skies and heavy heat. A fabulous read on a grey day in Ireland, I can tell you.
I didn't really like any of the characters apart from Grace...and I suppose Hannah was ok...but I think that's partly the point, to show that real friends are the ones who take you at your worst as well as at your best. I definitely felt pulled into the book, desperate to know what was going on and who was behind it all and who'd walk away at the end. And then that ending...I don't know whether I hope there's another one or if I'm happier making it up for myself!
A great read I really enjoyed. I'll be watching out for more by the author.
I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
