The Day I Met Suzie Award-winning author by Chris Higgins (author)

“My boyfriend could get into trouble if he gets caught. He could go to jail… So could I.” “Anything you tell me is completely confidential.” I sigh deeply. What have I got to lose? “I wouldn’t know where to begin.” “At the beginning?” she says. “In your own words.” So that’s what I do. I start at the beginning like she says. The day I met Suzie.

Indigo has called the Samaritans. She is frightened and desperate with nobody to turn to. Over the course of one long night, Indie tells her story to the person on the end of the phone. Where did it all start? As Indie tries to explain, she realises that her friend Suzie has taken over her home, her friends, her work, her boyfriend – her entire life. How will Indie get her future back and free herself from Suzie’s evil influence? Skilfully weaving Indie’s memories of the past into the present moment, this is a chilling portrait of a friendship built on manipulation and lies.
