What I'm Reading: We Were Never Friends by Kaira Rouda

A review of a domestic suspense about sorority sisters 🔥

WE WERE NEVER FRIENDS by Kaira Rouda

Friend drama. There’s nothing quite like it. When this tight group of sorority sisters gather to celebrate the engagement of two of their children, sparks start to fly almost immediately. One sister crashes the party. Most of them are uncomfortable in each other’s presence. There are so many secrets here, and they all come out in one stunning revelation after another. Kaira Rouda is a master of domestic suspense. Her pacing is perfectly breakneck. Don’t miss her latest.
