'Compelling... hauntingly dark' JANE SHEMILT
THEY CAN BUILD YOU UP
Charlotte has it all: the successful career, the loving family. But, secretly, she is dangerously bored of her life. So when she meets free-spirited Bianka, it feels like fate - Bianka is exactly the person that Charlotte needs.
OR TEAR YOU DOWN
On a girls' trip to Ibiza, home is forgotten as Charlotte dives head first into a life that is looser, wilder. She feels free, but there are devastating consequences: someone doesn't return home.
As the aftermath of the holiday rips through her life back in London, Charlotte soon regrets ever breaking out of her carefully constructed routine - and begins to wonder whether meeting Bianka was really an accident at all...
A fabulously creepy simmering 'glam-noir' thriller, perfect for fans of Caroline Kepnes, BA Paris, TM Logan and Verity by Colleen Hoover.
