A chilling domestic thriller of obsession, identity, and the inch between inside and out.

When Sophie Mathers' charming new neighbor, Amelia, sweeps into her life, she seems like the friend Sophie didn't know she was missing—warm, helpful, eager to be part of everything. Within days, Amelia is in Sophie's kitchen, winning over her kids, and somehow always... there.

But small red flags start to flutter. A note left on the counter in Sophie's handwriting she didn't write. Calendar invites she never sent. Teachers, neighbors—even her own husband—receiving messages from "Sophie" that weren't hers.

As Amelia's presence grows, Sophie's reality begins to warp. The woman across the street doesn't just want to be in Sophie's world—she wants to be Sophie. And she's done it before.

To protect her marriage, her children, and her own identity, Sophie will have to unearth the truth about Amelia's past—and confront the one person who knows exactly how to turn a neighborhood against you.

But in a game where every smile is strategy and every kindness hides a key, the question isn't just how far Amelia will go. It's how far Sophie will.

Perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, Lisa Jewell, and The Girl on the Train, The Friend I Didn't Choose is a gripping, clean-but-creepy domestic thriller where the real danger is the person who knows your name, your habits... and the exact version of you they can replace.
