TWO WRONGS by REBECCA REID

My Rating: ★★★

When Chloe goes to university and meets wild, carefree Zadie, she is utterly seduced by her and her lifestyle. It doesn’t take long for Chloe to ditch her studies in favor of all-night parties at Zadie's huge house off campus.

But when something goes badly wrong one night and Zadie disappears in the aftermath, Chloe knows she should have done more to help her friend. It’s something she’ll always regret.

Fifteen years later, Chloe finally gets the chance to make it right. But in order to do so, she’ll have to put everything at stake.

This was an interesting read. The plot is narrated across chapters elaborating events that occurred in the past and the current happenings.

Even though I found the main character, Chloe’s actions naïve most of the times, it was actually believable. The events that take place in this book are quite common in university life. People tend to succumb to peer pressure just to regret it later.

I just couldn’t figure out what was the main issue being dealt with in the book. Was it mental health? Or peer pressure? Unbalanced relationships? Or something else. Because it was as if all these issues were dumped together but none of them were not dealt with completely.

So, overall an okay read. Main highlight being the revelations at the end but not an exciting read because I felt that something was missing.
