Hello and happy Sunday. Look, I know this is another Lucinda Berry review, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be the last one, at least for a while. There was another book from this author that I acquired and read via Kindle Unlimited, but that one was a DNF, so I’m not even going to dedicate a blog post to it.

The Best of Friends was released in 2020, so it is way more recent than the other novels by this author I’ve reviewed. I honestly couldn’t tell the difference, and maybe again it’s because The Perfect Child was so unique that maybe nothing else compares. Maybe it was my mistake to decide to basically read all of these author’s books back to back, but even if I’d read them spaced out, I don’t think this would’ve been a particularly memorable thriller.

Like in other novels by Lucinda Berry, this story is told from the perspective of three women who are neighbors and best friends, and whose teenage sons are also best friends. The kids are all staying at one of their houses when one of them shoots the other two. One of the boys is killed and the other one is in critical condition. This, of course, causes a lot of tension among the group of friends while the truth of what happened that night unravels.
