The Lies You Told by Harriet Tyce
5.0
So glad I took a chance and read this!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I picked this copy up from my local library. I had a TBR prompt of reading “the highest rated thriller” on my list and while that book was not available, this book, which was by the same author, was and so I took it. Great success. Just makes me want her other books more!
This is a slow burn thriller, so if you’re not into storylines and would rather have a lot of action, this may not be for you. I really enjoyed the legal aspect of the story, as that was my field of study in university! I think overall Sadie and Robin were likeable characters, constructed carefully to make you invested in what they’re doing the entirety of the novel. And honestly, I like how Sadie was determined to stay away from Andrew for a while due to how she was treated. A lot of the time, I notice that female characters are written to be naive or emotionally vulnerable to the point that it’s frustrating, but we didn’t see any of that here!
The twists at the end of the book will have you pointing the finger at everyone close to Sadie… 10/10 recommend!
