I’m super excited to be bringing my review for The Perfect Girl by Kelly Golden for Rachel’s Random Resources blog tour today. Thanks to Rachel Gilbey and Kelly Golden for allowing me to join and the gifted copy of the book to take part.
He always said she was just a friend… What if she’d kill for more?
Sophie is perfect. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and when she smiles her teeth sparkle. And she cares; she’s passionate. Everybody loves her. So would I, except she’s my husband Mike’s best friend, and sometimes they seem a little too close for comfort.
This summer, Sophie is renting the grand house next door, bringing over fancy wine, offering to babysit our beautiful three-year-old daughter. It’s nice, actually. She’s smart and funny. Maybe the way she is with Mike – squeezing his arm, tilting her head when she laughs at his jokes – is just how she is with everybody.
But then she says something that sends a shiver down my spine – does she know something about me she shouldn’t?
And when her new husband arrives, looking slightly too familiar, I realise my time is running out. My baby girl and I are in terrible danger.
Sophie really is perfect. She has me perfectly trapped. And as my world begins to crumble, I start to wonder: does Sophie just want to steal my husband, or has she planned the perfect murder?
A completely unputdownable psychological thriller that will keep you flicking through your Kindle late into the night. Perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Guest List and anything by Louise Candlish, Erin Kelly or TM Logan.
Kelly Golden is an author I havent come across before. The Perfect Girl is her first psychological thriller, so I was dying to read it as soon as I got my copy. The cover and blurb were both enticing, which made me all the more intrigued.
From the start, I couldn’t tear myself away from this book. The amount of lies, secrets, manipulation, and so much more that this story holds made me feel like I was on a rollercoaster ride. Kelly Golden has written the perfect psychological thriller. One that messes with your head while the story slowly twists and turns, and the tension tightens as the truth is uncovered.
Each character had me wondering. Emma, Mike, and Sophie are all as well crafted as each other and as lifelike as you can make them. I love unlikeable characters, and there are a few in this book. I could almost feel the emotions permeating from Emma as the story developed, and this also aided in cranking up the tension. The pacing is perfect. It kept me wanting more as each chapter flew by.
I thoroughly enjoy a book that keeps me guessing, and this did. The ending was a blinder, and it just finished off such an entertaining read. It did leave me thinking too… how well do we know the people around us? I would definitely recommend any psychological thriller reader to pick The Perfect Girl up.
