katiemack 's review for:

The Lies That Bind by Emily Giffin
1.0

I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

1.5. It's a rare rating for me, but this book is problematic. Giffin makes gratuitous use of the tragedy of 9/11 for her personal gain, and it is entirely inappropriate. She also somehow manages to create characters that are both hollow and unappealing, and the plot is nonsensical (especially after the halfway point of the novel).

Between this book and her Meghan Markle comments, I don't think I'll be reading anything else Giffin writes (or has written).
