Best friends are supposed to trust each other. But what if the only reason you’ve stayed friends all these years… is to watch each other closely? And what if your toxic friend is about to destroy your life?

I watch Victoria and Reese leaving their favourite coffee shop arm-in-arm. They like to go there to catch up, brag about their perfect husbands and their perfect children.

But I know the truth. Behind those big smiles, Reese and Victoria have kept each other close so they can watch each other. Their friendship is toxic.And their lives are built on one big lie. 

I carefully snap another photograph to add to my collection. Neither of them knows I see everything they do. They’ll find out soon enough, when I bring their lies out into the open. Then it will be just the three of us, together again after all these years.

Because the past is coming back to bite these two women…

It’s me. I’m the past. Here I come.

A totally addictive psychological thriller by million-copy bestseller Nicole Trope that will have you racing through the pages late into the night! Fans of Andrea Mara, Shari Lapena and Freida McFadden won’t be able to put this down.



Nicole Trope

Nicole Trope went to university to study Law but realised the error of her ways when she did very badly on her first law essay because, as her professor pointed out, ‘It’s not meant to be a story.’


She studied teaching instead and used her holidays to work on her writing career and complete a Masters’ degree. In between raising three children, working for her husband and renovating houses, she has published multiple bestselling novels. She lives in Sydney, Australia.

The Toxic Friend 
Written By Nicole Trope 
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Nicole Trope, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 


Ohh Nicole Trope is back and this time around she introduces to a friend of hers. Not just any friend mind you…oh no this is The Toxic friend and let me tell you she is TOXIC!!! She drove me absolutely BATTY!! There were many times in this book Camilla made me ginger snap!! May I add that rarely characters rub me the wrong way but this one did. She had a vendetta and kept repeating herself over and over but didn't get to her point. It made me want to scream. 


I have to say I loved how Nicole named one of her characters Reese! My sister married into the Reese family and well that is my favorite candy too. So when they had kids I nicknamed them my little Reese’s pieces (even though they are teenagers now). So, I smiled when Nicole used that name in the book. 


Being on social media for various accounts I can’t imagine getting hate from someone from your past knowing they know the truth about your life and it was based on a lie. That would just freak the heck out of me for a variety of different reasons. Not to mention out of the blue years after you had not seen or heard from that person. Why are they just getting in contact with you now? What do they really want from you? Who else may they have contacted that knows anything? 


A smile came to my face when I read how the names of Reese’s kids Dylan and Cash came about! What a fun story for when they become older. 


OMG there are seriously massive wicked twists that will stop you dead in your tracks and you will have to pick your jaw up off the floor!!! For who you thought was sending the messages might just not be the one sending the messages at all. So….who is really The Toxic Friend?! What does this person want? Trust me you will want to add this to your TBR List!! It is one of Nicole’s must read books!
