Five Harvard alumnae have played a yearly tag and kill game with each other for 20 years that has kept them connected to each other and to the memory of a roommate who died playing the game.
At the 20th anniversary reunion Wesley tells her friends that the money they had chipped in decades earlier has grown nearly $1 million…..In their minds, each woman equates the prize with freedom and soon secrets begins to emerge…….
My thoughts:
This is a very tense read that brings out the dark side of people when money is concerned. How one can be haunted by the ghost of a roommate who died, seeing her in odd places, thinking can she somehow seek revenge? Their imagination goes wild……
My feelings reading this book was all over the place and I had a very hard time getting into this story. I tried to push through it but I finally had to skip passages to reach the end, I was wasting too much time reading something I didn’t care for and of course my mind was constantly someplace else…it was time to give up and move on.
Having said this, by all means “With Friends Like These” is not a bad book. It is simply not my cup of tea but it may be yours.
I received this ARC from Atria Books via Netgalley for my thoughts: this is the way I see it.
