Two best friends from either side of the world and their annual international trip, what could go wrong? Well of course the worst happens, and Emily and Kristen are left burying the body of a backpacker in rural Chile. And now Emily is wondering how something so horrible could happen to them not once, but twice.

This best friend duo isn’t one of the healthiest relationships, but Emily and Kristen need each other. When a new boyfriend enters the mix, the relationship that has thrived on murders, cover-ups, and lies starts to shift in ways unthinkable to Emily. Are they really who they thought they were?

We Were Never Here is the epitome female friendship, unhinged as it might be, with a bit of murder sprinkled in. It kept me guessing all the way through and would be a great book club read to discuss that ending!
