This book took me by surprise in the best way possible. I was expecting the typical domestic thriller going in to it, but it was WAY darker than I thought it would be. There were quite a few surprising and shocking moments, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I would say this book is definitely more of a domestic suspense, so don’t go in to it expecting a fast-paced thriller. Overall, it was an entertaining read and would recommend it for an easy read.

At first i enjoyed this story. I felt a connection to the main characters but then it faded. A Certain situation took over the story and it felt over done. Some of the chapters just seemed to go on and on making the story drag. I then started too get annoyed with Daisy for giving intoo many of her predicaments instead of fighting.
This story is jammed packed with twists and turns aanc i enjoy ghat but this story went above and beyond that for me and the story lost it for me as the6 felt rushed and way too unrealistic
This one was just meh for me.i will however be reading i invited her in by this author soon and i hope its better than this one

Well, the title says it all really. Lies lies lies.
This book had me hooked right from the start. It goes on a rollercoaster of where lies from in the past can come back to haunt you. Where lies can lead to a breakdown in a relationship, but also, where not communicating within a relationship can also have a dramatic effect.
Absolutely brilliant.

Wow. This book was intense. A page turning, gripping thriller with some brutally delicious twists and turns. The descent into alcoholism of the MMC really worked me. The FMC was frustrating at times when she wouldn’t stand up for herself, but I guess not every woman can. I enjoyed the ride and shed a few tears.
I’m a person who never knows what the final denouement in a book will be and finds reviews that say ‘I KNEW AT 32% WHAT WAS GOING ON’ disingenuous and smug. So I implore you to ignore the very ‘popular’ one star reviewer who blah blahs about ‘trigger warnings’ on this book. Probably a US christian mommy-prude who has no idea about what alcoholism is like.
This was an awesome read and I’d happily read another of the author’s books.

This was my first Adele Parks read, and I will be reading more in the future.
Lies Lies Lies starts out as quite a simple, light,straight forward story, however we are soon sent on a ride full of twists and turns and WTF moments.
Daisy and Simon's marriage has been on a downward slide for a while, and just when you think you know what has been going on - BAM - we are thrown in another direction.
And there was one real turn that I certainly was not expecting!
There are great friendships (though at times her friends were a little OTT) but they a true friends - even when you don't think they are.
I was completely engrossed in this story. I read it over a week during my lunch breaks, groaning each day as my alarm reminded me to go back to work.
I am now looking forward to what Ms Parks brings us in the future, and I will go back and read more of her catalogue in the meantime.
