I couldn’t get enough of this book it had me gasping and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! I couldn’t stop reading this book deserves 5 stars for the amount of jaw drops and twists!

It was so addictive I devoured it in one day and as I raced to the end desperate to find out what would happen next! The ending was jaw-dropping and absolutely mind-blowing!

It was an unforgettable, unputdownable read and my emotions were running at high speed! I loved every minute of it!

Cranked this book out in 2 days - so good! I love all of Caitlin Weaver’s books & this one did not disappoint. Dana & Padma have been best friends & neighbors for years. Their kids are the same age and are good friends too. However when Dana’s daughter Izzy has an accident, Padma, who was working in the ER that day, is the one who treats her….and things spiral downward from there. Both families end up facing tragic uncertainties that test even the strongest bonds of family and friendships. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this Advanced Readers’ copy. This book is published the end of July 2025. Definitely get yourself a copy! #booksbyashleynicole

This was an excellent, emotional read. The premise is two best friends who fall out over one of their daughters but the undercurrent also delves into relationships, addiction and how we grow and change as people . A fabulous read again from Caitlin.

Two friends that have turned bitter enemies. Padma and Dana have been friends for years, but when Dana’s daughter ends up in ER Padma is wanting to treat her, a minor mistake and Dana’s daughter ends up on life support. Then the whole friendship turns. You don’t really know someone until bad things happen. The true friendship came out. It’s full of suspense, but also sad. A one sit read. A great read till the bitter end. 5 stars. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy.

Another slam drunk Caitlin Weaver novel. A teenager, Izzy is brought to the hospital with leg plan. Her mother's best friend is the intake doctor. Padema declares her injury as minor. However, Izzy ends up in a coma. Friendship and family are the main catalysts in this novel. What would you risk, do and handle for your family at the expense of your best friend? I could not put this novel down!

This was a thoughtful read primarily about friendship as the relationship between neighbours and best friends Dana and Padma is fractured when Dana’s daughter Izzy becomes seriously ill and she blames Padma as her doctor for missing the early warning signs. This is told from multiple perspectives which not only reflect the impact of Izzy’s condition but also their struggles in life generally with quite a few of the characters feeling they don’t live up to the expectations of others amongst other issues. I liked how flawed many of the characters were although Dana’s husband was very irritating but generally they were really good rounded characters dealing with difficult situations. I think the story and conclusion were well thought through and overall it’s a solid read. 9/10

I enjoyed "Who We Used to Be." The story was compelling, and the portrayal of the family and friends working through everything felt very believable and realistic.
