Everything Is Lies by Helen Callaghan
4.0
Having been disappointed by the last book I read by the author I was hoping for something better this time round, and I wasn’t disappointed.
The book took a turn I wasn’t expecting, but it was one I enjoyed. It is told using two different timelines, those of Sophia in the present day and Nina, her mother, in the past. It is only on reading Nina’s past that you get an idea of where the author is going with the storyline as a whole.
I did get a little bit bored with the initial part of Nina’s story but once it got going it gripped me totally. The characters are all well written, the story goes at a good pace, and overall this was a good read for me.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing a copy.
