This is my first time reading the author. First off, I really liked the front cover. The characters are well-written. Indiana is an interesting character. I found her amusing. She's so unpleasant yet chirpy and sweet at the same time, completely unstable. I thought she was a treat. I wasn't sure what to make of Gemma. She's predictable at times. I found it strange how easily she abandons her friend Maria and welcomes Indiana into her life. Still, I found her endearing. I didn't really like anyone but they held my interest. Befriended is jam-packed with twists, turns and misdirection. The book held my interest throughout. I felt the language used let it down a bit. It's simply written and easy to read. This is the only area I felt the book was lacking. It's well worth a read though for all the scheming and manipulation.
