I Invited Her In + Giveaway
Publisher: MIRA; Original edition (February 5, 2019)
Imagine the worst thing a friend could ever do.
This is worse.
When Mel receives an unexpected email from her oldest friend Abi, it brings back memories she thought she had buried forever. Their friendship belonged in the past. To those carefree days at university.
But Abi is in trouble and needs Mel’s help, and she wants a place to stay. Just for a few days, while she sorts things out. It’s the least Mel can do.
After all, friends look out for each other, don’t they?
I Invited Her In is a blistering tale of wanting what you can’t have, jealousy and revenge from Sunday Times bestseller Adele Parks.
My Review
I started seeing this book popping up all over the web recently. Thus when I got the chance to read this book, I was excited. Thrillers; especially psychological thrillers are my jam. Yet, it became pretty apparent early on for me that this book was not going to live up to the hype that I had imagined it to be. The storyline is predictable and the characters were not very likable.
Melanie was dull as well as too kind, whereas; Abigail was deceitful and horrible towards others. Melanie may have called Abigail a friend but Abigail was more like "friend enemy". For example, when Abigail left her phone out for Melanie to se the video. Melanie just kindly questioned Abigail. It was not until the truth came out and Melanie saw Abigail for who she really was that she finally did something about it. Even, Melanie's husband did not over react. Sadly, I wanted more and didn't get it. Lesson of the day "Be careful who you invite into your home".
