What My Best Friend Did

When Alice meets Gretchen for the first time, it feels a bit like falling in love. Life`s got a bit boringly grown-up of late: weekends at weddings and baby-showers, celebrating friends` transitions to a life she isn`t quite up for yet, and, at home, a sweet-and-stable boyfriend she suspects she`s outgrown. Gretchen Bartholomew, with her air of impulsiveness and intuitive style, is that rarest of things: a proper, new friend who knows how to have fun. Even the added complication of Gretchen`s gorgeous brother, Bailey, might actually be just what Alice needs. Before she knows what`s hit her, Alice`s brilliant new best friend is turning her world upside down. But Gretchen has a dark secret, which - like a time bomb ticking in her hand - won`t stay hidden for ever. The explosion may teach them both more than they ever wanted to know about how female friendships can go wrong.
