Not enjoying it but can accept the story. I read some chapters and cant force to end up. Maybe its not my cup of tea but it doesnt mean this book is not worth to read. Keep up the good work, author! Will have to read another works from this author too…

I did not relate to this book at all and I feel like the social media trope is too played out in modern thrillers

Keep Your Friends Close by Janelle Harris

This book was bone chilling! It gave me the creeps! The suspense was so high that I had trouble sleeping. The story kept me on the edge of my seat! I could not wait to finish the book. The ending was gut wrenching. Truly an amazing story. I HAD to finish the book when I got close to the end. The worry about Darcy and her unborn baby and Rose and her baby kept me reading. Wow! What an amazing book! Loved it!

Amazing! I literally had chills the last few chapters. I loved the changing perspective and how beautifully thought out and thorough each character was. I would definitely recommend this book if you love a good thriller!

Absolutely gripping and I couldn't put it down. It had me hooked from the very first page. Fantastic characters and plot.

This book has an interesting concept but for readers of thrillers in general there were no shocks or anything that took me aback....which was definitely needed here.

It also felt really far fetched at times and went from one extreme to the other. I think there were meant to be a big reveal at the end but figured it out almost immediately what had happened


It was fairly easy reading and I liked the authors style rather than the content.
I would be interested to read another book by this author.

Thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A different view of the flip side of social media. You may be an internet sensation to many, but to a few, you are now a target.

Great book. Highly recommend and will most defiantly read more by this author and suggest to others!

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* scary but like not really original :l also her husband is annoying lol

I initially chose this book as it focused around a pregnant woman and I had recently just had a baby. I ended up putting off reading it as it centered around the main character's pregnancy and so I thought it might be just that little bit too creepy for me at that point. I'm glad I finally picked it up as I loved the whole concept of 'who can you really trust?' If you think too hard about it, it's quite a scary thought that you never truly know. Kept me guessing the whole way through, really enjoyable.

Intriguing, thrilling and just brilliant is how I'll describe this book. Fraught with tension and revenge this book is a thrill a minute ride. In public Darcy appears to have the perfect life, in reality it's anything but. Definitely keep your friends close because when the past comes knocking.........

Could not put this book down! It definitely kept me intrigued with each page! Loved the characters. What a great read. Highly recommend!

A really good psychological thriller. A couple who seem to have it all. A successful business with a large online presence and lots of followers on social media. Life seems perfect with a new baby on the way. An old school friend reappears and Darcy is put on house rest for her pregnancy. Life seems to then spiral out of control. A really good thriller with lots of twists to the story. Told in the present and past by school friends Darcy, Gillian and Tina it is a good read.

A really enjoyable gripping read ! A read that has you gripped from the first page to the last! Very cleverly written by the author switching from past to present and from different characters POV I will definitely read more by this author

Darcy and Luke seem to have it all. The perfect house, the perfect relationship, a successful business and a baby on the way. But behind the curtain, things are fall apart. Their business is barely hanging on and Darcy is becoming increasingly paranoid that someone is out to hurt them. But is it paranoia? Or is someone from their past out to get them?

The book is told in multiple POVs meant to keep the reader guessing and dual timelines focused on high school and the present. Regular thriller readers will likely piece together the main twist quickly, but there are nice nuggets throughout that keep you guessing about certain pieces.

At the heart of the story is how differently people can perceive and remember friendship, relationships and moments of their pasts. One small gesture may have changed the world for one person and the other has no memory of it taking place. And for the wrong person, this can turn deadly.

Keep Your Friends Close is a quick thriller read focused on obsession and friendship and the grey area in-between.

3.5 rounded up.

Thank you to Netalley and the publisher for the gifted ecopy..

Keep Your Friends Close Janelle Harris
Janelle is a new author to me, and I really enjoyed this book.
I really enjoyed the alternating chapters, and the then and now perspective.
I spent a lot of time trying to work out where this book was going, trying to work it all out.
I loved Darcy as a character (same name as one of my girls) and loved the progession of her character.
Overall a great read.

Another solid read from Janelle Harris . Very engaging and quite a page turner. I’d definitely recommend this to friends.

A brilliant read, twisty and turny, a real get inside your head read, stayed up all night reading this one

I liked this one, Had a well written plot and kept me engaged from page one, the characters were well thought out and relatable, I didn’t guess the twist, and was reading well into the night. Can't wait to see what the author brings out next, would recommend for sure.

Keep Your Friends Close by Janelle Harris was a thoroughly enjoyable, fast paced thriller that kept me enthralled and intrigued right from the start.
