<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Everyone has those friends. Doesn't matter how long it's been, or how badly they've occasionally behaved, or how late it is when that call finally comes--you show up. No questions asked. Honestly, that's how the five of us ended up here in the Catskills. We did have the best of intentions. Especially after what happened to Alice all those years ago, we can't bear to think of losing anyone else. In fact, we'll do anything to make sure that doesn't happen. We'll go so much farther than we ever thought we would. In the end, maybe that's what caught up with us"--Dust jacket flap.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A GMA Buzz Pick </strong></p><p><strong>"Kim McCreight's thrillers are smart, propulsive and impossible to put down. - Laura Dave, author of <em>The Last Thing He Told Me</em></strong></p><p><strong>In this relentlessly twisty literary thriller from <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Kimberly McCreight, a desperate intervention brings together a group of college friends 10 years after graduation--a reunion marked by lies, betrayal, and murder.</strong></p><p><strong>Coming Soon from Amblin Television </strong></p><p>Everyone has those friends.

Especially after what happened to Alice all those years ago, we can't bear to think of losing anyone else. In fact, we'll do anything to make sure that doesn't happen. We'll go so much farther than we ever thought we would. </p><p>In the end, maybe that's what caught up with us. That, and the fact that we're such a complicated group--so much history and so many big personalities. Secrets, too, that can slip out at the most inopportune moments. Of course, we love each other despite all of those things. We love each other no matter what.</p><p>There's something so beautiful about that kind of unconditional love. It can turn ugly, though. Or maybe that's just us. After all, we've already been through so much together. And we have so very much to hide. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Like other friend stories--Mary McCarthy's <em>The Group</em> and the television show <em>Friends</em>--this one is about trust and betrayal, hate and love, and the group dynamics of people who were once held together by college but have gone their separate ways.... And the ending is a shocker." --<em>Denver Post</em><br><br>"Riveting. . . . An entertaining puzzle." --<em>BookPage</em><br><br>"McCreight artfully delivers a solid psychological thriller with a twistedly complex plot. Readers who enjoy unraveling the mystery through numerous viewpoints as in <em>The Guest List</em>, by Lucy Foley, or <em>Into the Water</em>, by Paula Hawkins, will be sure to enjoy."--<em>Library Journal</em><br><br>"Shrewd, insightful.... In this gripping standalone thriller, five self-centered friends who met in college are bound by guilt and fear dating back to an accidental death."--Shelf Awareness<br><br>"Years' worth of friendship, secrets, coverups and lies lead to one intensely satisfying, jaw-dropping conclusion in this expertly plotted novel by master of suspense, Kimberly McCreight. <em>Friends Like These</em> is sensational, and makes you wonder how well you can ever know even your closest friends."--Mary Kubica, author of <em>Local Woman Missing</em><br><br>"I was so thrilled to get an early look at Kimberly McCreight's newest, <em>Friends Like These</em>. I flew through the book in a day.

Perfectly plotted and full of genuine surprises, this book had me rapt from start to finish. Kimberly McCreight is a sensational writer, and with <em>Friends Like These</em> she is at the top of her game.--Cristina Alger, author of <em>Girls Like Us</em><br><br>"A brilliantly constructed puzzle of a novel -- using a shifting kaleidoscope of unique voices, McCreight hands us all the pieces and forces us to assemble them into a shocking portrait of regret, grief, and dark loyalty." --Julie Clark, author of <em>The Last Flight</em><br><br>What a pleasure to race through a novel so tightly written and expertly twisty!
