Review: The Friend
The Friend by Teresa Driscoll
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Friend by Teresa Driscoll is an psychological thriller which have its own twist and turns to make its hard to find what is coming up in next chapter.
The author narrated the story in two parallel ones, One is present life of Sophie and other is how Sophie's past life is haunting her now. Sophie trusted her new friend Emma and left Ben with her but when she received a call from hospital as his son is severally wounded. Situation started to change more terrible and increase various questions where all certainly points out Emma and Sophie's past.
The story makes you to think about various perspectives you have before like trusting and judging others. Coming back to formation of novel, the start was somewhat absurd it took several pages to understand storyline properly. Also the cover is good but could be done more better.
Overall, novel will takes you to many cliff edges but the proper narration and characterization saves you to find an unguessable end.

On a train with her husband, miles from home and their four-year-old son, Ben, Sophie receives a chilling phone call. Two boys are in hospital after a tragic accident. One of them is Ben.
She thought she could trust Emma, her new friend, to look after her little boy. After all, Emma’s a kindred spirit—someone Sophie was sure she could bare her soul to, despite the village rumours. But Sophie can’t shake the feeling that she’s made an unforgivable mistake and now her whole family is in danger.
Because how well does she know Emma, really? Should she have trusted her at all?
Time is running out. Powerless to help her child, still hours from home, Sophie is about to discover the truth. And her life will never be the same.

“The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”
This famous quote from Bob Marley will be an apt one to describe this novel. Because friends are the precious ones you can't rate or buy, but when you join hands with wrong one it is like you get to decide your own destiny. This is what exactly the novel protrays.The Friend by Teresa Driscoll is an psychological thriller which have its own twist and turns to make its hard to find what is coming up in next chapter.
