With Friends Like These...You Know the Rest. A review of Things We Do to Our Friends.

 You do not want to be friends with these people. Especially Clare.

But it's delicious to read about them.

Delicious may not be the word I want to use, since the story opens with a forced feeding. It will whet your appetite for what's to come.

After the grim opening, I thought Clare was a little dull, a lonely college freshman looking for friends. About 1/3 of the way through the book, those friendships become dark and dangerous. The friendships are not boring, nor are they safe.

A lively but brutal opening, then the pace slows, then the mysteries and darkness speeds up to a point where I stayed up late to finish reading The Things We Do to Our Friends are not things you want your friends to do to you. Reading about these monstrous friends is much more enjoyable than being one of their friends.

Thank you to Bantam Books and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review The Things We Do to Our Friends.

The Things We Do to Our Friends did not involve a flower bouquet but did involve sexy underwear.
There's some pigs, too, but they're not in sexy underwear.
