About the Event
Coffee House and Forum Club are partnering to celebrate the launch of The Best Friend, a new novel by bestselling author Jessica Fellowes. Please join us for drinks and mingling. We look forward to seeing you!
About the Book
An unsettling, gripping and original novel by Jessica Fellowes telling the story of a toxic friendship.
Bella and Kate. Kate and Bella. From childhood they were bosom friends, Bella sensible and cautious, Kate gregarious and just a little dangerous.
Yet in spite of their intimacy, their trust is fragile. Men came into their lives and things changed: a black seed was set in the heart of their relationship. Over decades, acts of both cruelty and love ferment until one shocking event tests them more than ever. Neither will escape unscathed.
In her first standalone novel, Jessica Fellowes explores the darkest corners of female friendship, a place where loyalty and betrayal become one.
