A good friend will help you move. A best friend will help you move a body. One year after a disastrous girls’ trip ended in a secret cover-up, Mandy is set to reunite with Piper, Lexie, and Jazz at a private island estate owned by Piper’s tech-mogul father. They expect it to be a weekend that will repair old wounds. Instead, they discover they are not alone—and that the past is not buried as deeply as they thought. Mandy has spent the last twelve months trying to outrun what they did. The others have stayed busy managing the image of a wildly successful influencer, whose curated perfection attracts millions of fans who love her a lot and loathe her a little. Every image is polished. Every artfully erased. But online control doesn’t translate to real life. When a storm traps everyone on the island and someone is gravely injured, the reunion shifts from uneasy to perilous. Mandy must decide who she can trust in the midst of a deadly reckoning. Blending a locked-island mystery with sharp commentary on tech-driven ambition and the fragile power dynamics of female friendship, Close Friends Only is a timely thriller about what happens when the truth can no longer be edited.
