I thought handsome, charming Blake would be the perfect fit for my quiet and sweet-natured friend Melanie. Widowed far too young, she deserved a second chance at love. So, when he proposed so soon after I set them up on a date, I convinced myself that the timing was just right. But I should have stopped it. I tried to ignore Blake’s controlling behavior. It started small; telling her not to have a glass of champagne to celebrate their engagement, putting cameras up around her house for “safety”. But Mel seemed so happy and in love, I couldn’t bring myself to share my creeping doubts.

Publisher's summary
Secrets, betrayal, and jealousy are at the heart of a friendship in an unnerving short story about truth and self-deception by Caroline Kepnes, the New York Times bestselling author of You.
Ellen has a lot to be thankful for. Her fiancé, Troy, is perfectly sweet. Her childhood friend Tanya, despite her edgier taste in men, is like a sister to Ellen: her closest friend—and rival. So familiar and yet, over the years, so many secrets between them. For Ellen, what lies ahead is a series of choices that will add up to a life she never could have imagined.
Caroline Kepnes’s The Bad Friend is part of Never Tell, a heart-pounding collection of stories about secrets, lies, and mind games. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Just keep the endings to yourself.

It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

Ugh
Ew, Ellen is vapid and shallow; and her friend, Tanya, is just the same. Ellen has no idea what makes her happy let alone able to express that to her husband. She can’t be honest with herself let alone with anyone else. She can only compare her life to others. It’s no wonder that her life was miserable.

A Great Listen for Fans of 'You'
Caroline Kepnes does it again with 'The Bad Friend,' a gripping short story from the collection 'Never Tell.' This story weaves a haunting narrative of secrets, betrayal, and jealousy, all centered around the complex friendship between Ellen and her childhood friend Tanya. As Ellen navigates a path filled with difficult choices and hidden truths, Kepnes masterfully captures the essence of suspense and psychological drama. The prose is sharp, the narration spot-on, and the pacing is perfect for an intense one-sitting listen. Whether you're a fan of Kepnes's 'You' or new to her work, this story will hold you in its thrall until the inevitable conclusion. A must-listen for anyone who loves a well-crafted psychological thriller.

Wow, what a secret to hold on to!
It's interesting that while reading this, how very easy it is to pick out who the bad friend is, but in the end, can the same do be said? Jealousy will have you seeing things in ways that don't always align with the truth. Everything that goes ain't gold, and every coin has another side.

In Depth Look Into Life, Aging, & Choices
I already loved this author but now love the narrator too. I was surprised how much detail was packed into this short read. The perspective was awesome like we're in the journey right along with the main character; it felt personal. So much detail regarding family dynamics and friendships, it's all about perspective. I was hoping for a positive ending, but the story gets more and more depressing as it goes. I was very invested nonetheless: the mind is a powerful thing, so many secrets, you never know what the full story really is, and the grass isn't always greener on the other side. This was so intriguing to see how each character's life goes, but it left me feeling sad and a little bleak.

Superb Storytelling
Great narration for fast-paced, twisty, story. Girl gets played by bad friend,
ends up with her bad boyfriend, only to realize that she herself had laid the groundwork.
All the wrong moves hit her like lightening strikes. Fascinating psych-out.
