Lucy Dawson’s novels have been a huge hit her at Chick Lit Reviews. Both of Chloe’s reviews for What My Best Friend Did as well as The One That Got Away were given a 5 out of 5 rating. So, when I saw that What My Best Friend Did was coming to the US I got very very excited. It releases here in America on November 30, 2025! The synopsis makes it seem like there’s more of a mystery involved, which is always fantastic in my opinion, because I love to keep guessing to the very last page. But now you tell me…which cover do you prefer? The US Cover on the left or the UK Cover on the right? I actually think I love the US cover more, and that’s not always the case for me, but you tell me…

Synopsis for What My Best Friend Did:

For Alice, life’s a bit too boringly grown-up lately—weekends at weddings and baby showers; celebrating friends’ transitions to a life she isn’t quite up for yet; and a sweet, stable boyfriend she suspects she’s outgrown. So when she meets Gretchen for the first time, it feels a bit like falling in love. Gretchen, with her air of impulsiveness and intuitive style, is that rarest of treasures: a true friend who knows how to have fun. Plus there’s Gretchen’s gorgeous brother, Bailey, who might turn out to be exactly what Alice needs. Before she knows what’s hit her, Alice’s brilliant new best friend is turning her world upside down—seemingly for the better.

But Gretchen has a dark secret, which, like a time bomb, won’t stay hidden forever. The explosion may teach them both more than they ever wanted to know about how female friendships can go frighteningly wrong.
