Story
For 15 years, Lexi and Jake have played the same six numbers with their friends, the Pearsons and the Heathcotes. Over dinner parties, fish & chip suppers and summer barbecues, they’ve discussed the important stuff – the kids, marriages, jobs and houses – and they’ve laughed off their disappointment when they failed to win anything more than a tenner. But then, one Saturday night, the unthinkable happens. There’s a rift in the group. Someone doesn’t tell the truth. And soon after, six numbers come up which change everything forever.

Incredibly Disappointing

Summary
A gripping story of friendship and betrayal from international best-selling author Adele Parks.
This audiobook includes an exclusive interview between Adele Parks and Badass Women’s Hour’s Harriet Minter. Keep listening after the credits to hear them explore the characters and themes within the book and talk about everything from Adele’s writing process to the biggest twists and turns in I Invited Her In.
I invited her in...and she took everything.
When Mel hears from a long-lost friend in need of help, she doesn’t hesitate to invite her to stay. Mel and Abi were best friends back in the day, sharing the highs and lows of student life, until Mel’s unplanned pregnancy made her drop out of her studies.
Now, 17 years later, Mel and Abi’s lives couldn’t be more different. Mel is happily married, having raised her son on her own before meeting her husband, Ben. Now they share gorgeous girls and have a chaotic but happy family home, with three children.
Abi, meanwhile, followed her lover to LA for a glamorous life of parties, celebrity and indulgence. Everything was perfect, until she discovered her partner had been cheating on her. Seventeen years wasted, and nothing to show for it. So what Abi needs now is a true friend to lean on, to share her grief over a glass of wine, and to have some time to heal. And what better place than Mel’s house, with her lovely kids and supportive husband....
This dark, unsettling tale of the reunion of long-lost friends is thoroughly gripping exploration of wanting what you can’t have, jealousy and revenge from Sunday Times best seller Adele Parks.

I guessed the twists well in advance so it was a matter of waiting to see how things played out. I didn’t find much to like about any of the characters but the story held my attention.

Intriguing
What seems to start as ‘mutually supportive old friends ‘ story unravels gradually revealing layer after layer of secrets, deceptions and well meaning,but flawed, intentions. It is right up to date with the downsides of social media and smartphones but also deals with timeless emotions- parental love, jealousy, and revenge.
