About this listen
For two old friends with so much to hide, playing catch-up is a dangerous game in a propulsive novel of suspense by the author of Mother of All Secrets.
Writer Carrie Colts hopes a move to Montauk will be a rejuvenating change of pace for her family. The last thing she expects to see is her former college roommate on her doorstep. Newly widowed, and with a daughter of her own, Maya would love to reconnect. As a gesture to an old friend in mourning, Carrie extends an invitation to stay. Just for a few days. After all, there are reasons that Carrie and Maya are estranged.
Carrie soon regrets her impulsive offer. Someone has taken a pair of scissors to her college yearbook. Her herb garden is destroyed. She’s starting to receive sinister texts. And Maya is making herself a little too much at home. What does Maya really want? What is she hiding? Carrie’s afraid to ask. Because Maya knows all her secrets, and exposing them comes with a price Carrie can’t afford to pay.

Of course, I’m not going to murder her in the night. I need my laptop back first. That’s the whole point of making friends with Emily Harper, author of the hugely successful novel Diary of an Octopus. So I could get into her apartment and take back what’s mine. Emily doesn’t know who I really am. She thinks I’m her biggest fan, her new best friend who happens to need a place to stay for a few days. She doesn’t realize the laptop she found—and took—from a busy airport almost two years ago was mine. I don’t care about the laptop, just what's on it: my diary.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

The surprising reveal at the end
It was an original story of friendship. I would have liked for the author to wrap it up with a more definite ending.

Great story. Love the plots twists. Narration was perfect. I was looking for books similar to Frieda McFadden since I’ve read them all, and this author is just what I was looking for!

Great story and narration but…
Thoroughly enjoyed this book the story the characters and the narrator was great. I was surprised at pretty much every turn. my only dissatisfaction was at the ending I thought that it should have followed through to bring the husband back into it realizing that the girl was his daughter.

This book made me FEEL, all the feels. Really enjoyed the character progression. Loved the story and twists. It’s a bit of a slow burn but so worth it at the end.

Riveting
This was a well constructed story of long held secrets in a few different ways, it was a little annoying the husband was clueless throughout the story I wish he had been more involved other than him flying off the handle once, kinda unrealistic but I still loved this book! Highly recommend!

3.5 stars
Anything for a Friend by Kathleen M. Willett has a really good premise but seemed to fall short in some areas. I guessed the only real twist before 30% in, so, for me, I was waiting for more to happen that never did. There are a couple distracting inconsistencies, and the ending is unsatisfying. I rate Anything for a Friend 3.5 stars begrudgingly rounded up to 4, because, math 😂
Maria Marquis is a great narrator that helped move things along nicely.

A Non Stop Listen
An absolutely awesome listen. The writing was on point. I did not see the end coming and even though I would have loved more, I simply did not want it to end. Good stuff.
