Adele Parks is one of my must pick up immediately authors and I happy to report she doesn't disappoint with Lies, Lies, Lies.
Told from alternating perspectives of Daisy & Simon, I felt for both of the characters throughout and the plot is addictive, I found it difficult to put down because I wanted to find out what was really going on.
Whilst that final twist will certainly shock, I personally felt it distracted from the rest of the story.
Overall an enjoyable, brilliant characters and an ending you certainly won't guess.
Thanks to NetGalley & HQ Stories for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

Lies, Lies, Lies is what I feel like I’ve been told by the people who told me this was a great read.
I can’t think of one thing I enjoyed about this book; unlikeable characters, rape, animal abuse and the ending was just a complete mess.

Ahhh this book is one of those that should not have been classified as a thriller, as it is definitely more of a domestic drama. I think the alternating perspectives between Daisy and Simon provided an interesting way of telling the story since we were able to see both sides of the situation and how both were flawed in their communication. I don’t think I liked either of them, or any character really. The title really says it all as you are never sure what the real truth is until the very end. The pace was odd and I felt like it took a good 100 pages for me to be even slightly interested in the story since I was just waiting for something to happen! Overall, it was readable but I was left feeling disappointed and bored. Also so many parts just did not make sense and were not realistic at all?
This book was extremely slow for probably the first 300 pages. The ending had a few turns which is why I gave it 2 stars. I feel like a lot of the story was pointless information and the ending could have been developed more instead of throwing a bunch of turns in back to back.
This book was so not what I expected. Started off thinking it was women’s fiction, then it turned into something else entirely.
It is an X-ray into a marriage with a functional alcoholic, showing both sides as the cracks start to appear. It’s a story of embarrassment, friendships, secrets and lies. So many secrets I found myself shouting at Daisy to open up and tell her friends and Simon oh why didn’t you talk to Daisy? So much could pain could have been avoided.
The characters are so varied and vivid I felt I was among friends I had known for years. Connie and Luke are the main friends in the story but I confess I held a soft spot for Lucy. I do love an outsider and black sheep are the ones I always seek out (far more interesting).
I’m not going to go into the plot as this is definitely a book where the less you know the better. Then you can have the same enjoyment I had with each little surprise (and there are many).
This would make a fantastic book club read as there is so many discussion points throughout and the author has kindly added some at the end.

I didn’t really click well with this book. I found it a bit depressing and didn’t enjoy it at all.
This book has many lies and secrets. A couple wanting a baby very bad. Then, they get a miracle but things still will not be "perfect". This book's story was one many people can relate to and have touched many of our lives in one way or the other. There were some more darker things in the this book that were not great. I know dark can be part of lie. I was a little disappointed in the ending but all in all this was a good book. I did enjoy a new author! *This book was given to me for free at my request from NetGalley and I provided this voluntary review.*
