Book-based, TV series The Girlfriend, is a breakout hit for Prime Video. The psychological thriller has now surpassed 25 million global viewers. The Girlfriend has not only crossed the 25 million mark but has also become the number-one new scripted series on Prime Video in the UK. The TV series is based on the bestselling novel written by Michelle Frances. Globally, it now ranks among Prime Video’s top ten releases of the year.
FYI (below this blog post): Singer Taylor Swift gave "The Girlfriend" a high-profile boost this week with a mention on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon—a move that’s sure to drive even more interest.
Here is the goodreads synopsis of The Girlfriend by Michelle Frances:
The addictive Number One bestselling thriller, perfect for fans of Into the Water.
A girl. A boy. His mother. And the lie she'll wish she'd never told.
The Girlfriend by Michelle Frances is a gripping and chilling debut psychological thriller, based on the fall-out following an unforgiveable lie. It looks at the potentially charged relationship between girlfriend, boyfriend and his mother, which most women can identify with, and locates it in an extreme but believable setting.
Laura has it all. A successful career, a long marriage to a rich husband, and a twenty-three year-old son, Daniel, who is kind, handsome, and talented. Then Daniel meets Cherry. Cherry is young, beautiful and smart but she hasn't had the same opportunities as Daniel. And she wants Laura's life.
Cherry comes to the family wide-eyed and wants to be welcomed with open arms, but Laura suspects she's not all that she seems.
When tragedy strikes, an unforgiveable lie is told. It is an act of desperation, but the fall-out will change their lives forever.
