Before We Were Innocent

Beautifully written, suspenseful coming-of-age story... I loved it.' The Daily Mail 'Two BFFs are accused of murder in this novel that feels like true crime.' ? Cosmopolitan ?A haunting and dazzling page-turner.' - Laura Hankin 'It's a compulsive thriller, and you won't want to put down Berman's second book.'? Shondaland 'Slices to the core of a fraught friendship on the brink of disaster.' ? PopSugar The truth depends on who you ask... This is the story of three perfectly imperfect women who hurt each other in all the most obvious ways, but who loved each other enough for a lifetime. And it doesn't end here. Ten years ago, after a sun-soaked summer spent in Greece, Bess and Joni were cleared of having any involvement in their best friend Evangeline's death. But that didn't stop the media from tearing them to shreds, turning two flawed young women into depraved thrill-seekers who led their friend down a twisted and deadly path. Now Joni needs a favour, and when she turns up at her old friend's doorstep asking for an alibi, Bess has no choice but to say yes. She still owes her. But as the two friends try desperately to shake off their past, they have to face reality. Can you ever be an innocent woman when everyone wants you to be guilty?
