Resumen del Editor

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.

What did I just listen to?

Omg. This story gave me chills and left me shook. The narration is amazing and her writing style is beyond words.

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.

she can never be satisfied

3.5⭐️
Audio 4.5⭐️

Bad Friend is an interesting read. I love Kepnes’ voice and this short is no exception. The story is as slippery and isolating as the narrator. Ellen is insecure and dissatisfied. She (in her mind) loves her best friend but can’t help envy her confidence and intelligence. She can’t make true connections with anyone except her daughter; it seems bc she doesn’t really have to try. Motherhood doesn’t require vulnerability, and she seems to only attach to ppl who keep her at a distance. There’s no mention of her parents so it’s funny how much she clings to her daughter and almost demands exclusive entrée into her life.

Her story is as flat and empty as she is, and one believably depressing ride. There are some pieces that drag a bit for such a short story. However, Kepnes’ turn of phrase keeps them from being too annoying, and the secret she ends up keeping and its mental ramifications are upsetting but a fitting punishment. I was somewhat disappointed by how the story plays out given the blurb, but it’s also an appropriate and on-brand feeling since Ellen spends her life feeling the same.
