There’s a reason Caroline Barron’s heroine is called Becky and it’s because at the heart of this novel there are several twists as good as those found in Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca. I was taken completely off guard and I loved it and it made the slow burn of the beginning of this novel worthwhile. It’s a book about those intense friendships you build when you’re in your late teens and twenties that you spend the rest of your life analysing.
Enter this world of 1990s Auckland party scene and you will emerge into the present day reconsidering some of your own past behaviours and slightly uncomfortable “what ifs”.
