This book starts off with a text and ends with a bang.

There were so many twists and turns that the only person I felt like I could trust was the 4 year old. Slightly predictable at times but I felt like this was a really well thought out story. I can't believe that this is the authors first thriller but I can tell she's a romance writer because the couple came alive in this book and I loved how real the chemistry felt.

adventurous mysterious tense

I listened to the audiobook version of The Five Year Lie and really enjoyed it! I was fully engaged until the end. The narrators chosen for this book were fantastic and perfectly matched the characters, in my opinion. 

The plot was extremely interesting and had me guessing until the last 1/4 of the book. I did think I knew the twist before it was told, but I enjoyed getting there anyway! Sarina Bowen is a fabulous writer and storyteller.
