When old school friends get together it’s supposed to be a laugh – but not when you’ve got something to hide…
Critically acclaimed author Emily Barr digs up the past for four school friends when they reunite in France. Out of my Depth is a tale of friends and ‘frenemies’ with dark secrets – perfect for fans of Sam Baker and Samantha Hayes.
‘Sleep-sabotagingly moreish’ – Cosmopolitan
When Susie decides to invite her old school friends for a reunion she tells herself that it’s just about showing off. It’s about letting Amanda, Izzy and Tamsin, see how well she’s done, with her successful career as an artist, her gorgeous house in France, her deliciously louche boyfriend. But the truth is that this is a dark plan. A plan that could make or break her seemingly perfect life…and she knows it. As the old friends gather at Susie’s for a long weekend of catching up and comparisons, it is clear that despite their lives having taken very different turns, they are all still haunted by a dark and common past. They each know that up until now they have been treading water — waiting for the inevitable moment when they have to face the truth. The question is, now that the time has come, who will sink and who will swim?
