She Picked Me by TRACEY STUBBS

     Some friendships heal you.

Others learn how to wear your skin.

Rebecca Hendricks is exhausted—by motherhood, by her distant surgeon husband, and by the life she never got to live. Once she dreamed of Broadway lights. Now she survives long shifts at a grim New York clinic and pretends she’s happy in a marriage that feels colder every year.

Then she meets Sophia Carter.

Elegant. Magnetic. Impossible to ignore.

Sophia seems to understand Rebecca in ways nobody ever has. What begins as harmless girls’ nights, wine-soaked confessions, and glamorous dinners slowly becomes something far more dangerous. Because Sophia isn’t just looking for a friend—she’s searching for a place to belong. A family to enter. A life to keep.

And the closer Rebecca lets her in, the harder it becomes to tell where friendship ends… and obsession begins.

Dark, addictive, and emotionally razor-sharp, SHE PICKED ME is a chilling psychological thriller about loneliness, identity, toxic female friendship, and the terrifying need to be chosen.
