The Things We Do To Our Friends

Clare arrives at the University of Edinburgh with a secret. This is her chance for a blank slate: to find the right people and reinvent herself. And then she meets Tabitha. Tabitha is charismatic, beautiful and intimidatingly wealthy. Soon Clare is sucked into her enigmatic circle of friends and their dizzying world of champagne on rooftops and summers in France. Her new life has begun.
Then Tabitha reveals the little project they're working on, a project they need Clare's help with. It's reckless, possibly perilous and might finally allow Clare to become who she was meant to be... But how much is an extraordinary life worth if others have to pay?

Seamlessly blends Gone Girl and Promising Young Woman. Smart, sophisticated, seductive'

About Heather Darwent

Heather Darwent is based just outside of Edinburgh, the setting for her Sunday Times bestselling debut, The Things We Do To Our
Friends
. Originally from Yorkshire, she came to Scotland to study at the University of Edinburgh and ended up never quite leaving. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her reading chaotic non-
fiction about Silicon Valley and swimming in the sea . . . or being unbearably boring in conversation about swimming in the sea.
A Sharp Scratch is her second novel.
