Frequently Asked Questions

What is "The New Friend" about?

She seems too good to be true…

When Meg meets Tina, it’s like the most perfect meeting of minds. Their friendship feels naturally joyful – like they’ve had a space waiting in their lives for each other. And, with both being survivors of the same illness, there is an instant bond.

But Tina’s not all she seems to be. She has another name. And secrets that are destined to find their way to the surface, creating a danger that Meg could never have predicted.

In Meg’s world, Tina isn’t the only person who is lying. And someone is about to become an unwitting pawn in a complicated – and deadly – game.
