This had all the promise of a great story. University life, friendships, secrets and masses of suspense. However it fell down at the very beginning by the (unlikely) demise of Holly and Georgia's friendship - literally on Day 1.
Friends since they were 11. Absolute besties. Georgia meets a new group of older girls and literally falls in with them leaving Holly completely alone. Instead of Holly getting upset and doing what normal girls would do - she turns up uninvited to a very prestigious house party, where she knows no one and goes on the hunt for Georgia only to be completely blanked by her. And left out of all their fun and frolics, as Georgia cuddles and mucks around with her new group of girl friends.
In every scene they're in together, Georgia sneers at Holly and tells her to leave her alone. However Holly never ever takes offence and is determined to rescue Georgia from these alleged circumstances that she seemingly knows nothing about.
I literally cannot imagine anyone ever being treated so poorly by their best friend and yet never letting that affect their behaviour. It's like she had no feelings at all. It was very unbelievable and for me, ruined the authenticity of the story, which otherwise could have been portrayed a lot better.
There was a distinct lack of empathy and depth to their friendship. Georgia was vile all the way through. Yet Holly would put herself in immense danger to rescue her friend. Just didn't buy it,.
