I Love It When You Lie by Kristen Bird
4.0
Meet the wild Williams women!
Set in Willow Gap, Alabama, Kristin Bird delivers a laugh-out-loud family saga of dark secrets and a cast of ruthless sassy Southern women in this highly entertaining domestic drama—I LOVE IT WHEN YOU LIE.
Pearl Williams is the matriarch of this highly dysfunctional family, and unfortunately, she died just days before her eightieth birthday!
Now the granddaughters will take over to keep the secrets buried and try and give their grandmother a proper send-off.
Meet the cast:
Tara, the eldest, has married the local Southern Baptist pastor. She is making a series of decisions that could scatter his flock.
June has become a nurse and has married a doctor. She will do anything to have a baby, even if her husband won't.
Clementine, the youngest, is still in college and having an affair with her professor and is blind to reality.
Their brother, now Willow Gap's mayor, has scandalized the townsfolk by marrying Stephanie, whose major crime is being a Northerner. She also knows all the family dirt.
Someone is DEAD. A slow burn mystery told from the POVs of the three sisters and the sister-in-law.
We know a crime was committed, but what happened?
The gals must bury a body and cover up a crime the weekend after their beloved grandmother dies. We don’t know who the body is until near the end. The drama alternates between the women’s lives and the unraveling leading up to the event.
Who is going to get what he deserves?
Intriguing. Different. A wicked blend of deeply buried family secrets, scandal, and lots of drama! A cracking Southern small-town suspense, crossing moral lines and landing smack in the gray areas.
A cast of strong women that will keep you entertained! For fans of author Alice Feeney and Mary Kay Andrews. Will we see more of these ladies in the future?
Thank you to MIRA, the publisher, for providing an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
AUDIOBOOK: Looking forward to the audiobook starring a full cast of stars who will further make this book come alive! Narrators: Susan Bennett, Megan Tusing, Ferdelle Capistrano, Karissa Vacker, Brittany Pressley (all favorites)!
