About Caroline England
Born Yorkshire lass, Caroline studied Law at the University of Manchester and stayed over the border.

My Review
Nothing is ever what it seems, which is exactly what Caroline England does best when she's writing. Lots of secrets and lies and as the title implies betrayal. Friends since boarding school, Jo Wragg from new wealth parents, befriends Kate Bayden-Jones who has not got Jo's working-class heritage. The narrative goes back and forth from schooldays, to around the time when Jo was at university to the present time. The relationship between Jo and Kate is not what it seems and is full of infidelity, illicit sexual liaisons and lack of trust. It's the sort of friendship that really was too good to be true, and you just know it's going to end badly. Could fault it, so no less than the maximum amount of stars for a mind-blowing reading experience.​
