In there, them, us, it’s everything you’ve ever wanted, and you’re going to love it. I promise. I’ll look after you.
All her life, Clare has never fit in.
So when she arrives at Edinburgh University, she seizes the chance to reinvent herself.
Then she meets Tabitha, who is everything she’s not: charismatic, dazzling and intimidatingly wealthy.
Soon, Clare is sucked into Tabitha’s enigmatic circle of friends, and it’s all she hoped it would be. Until it’s not.
Because they are not all they seem.
And they’ve been waiting for Clare.
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
I liked the prose and enjoyed the characters, who I found to be well written and thought-out. I found the narrative to be slow, slightly repetitive, and the ending to be heavy on exposition.
