Lies, Lies, Lies by Adele Parks
4.0
TW/CW: Alcoholism, infertility, sexual abuse
Lies Lies Lies was everything it says in the title. I've never read a Adele Parks novel, but this one didn't disappoint (not me anyway). Please be cautious while reading it though, as it contains a lot of strong content.
Daisy is a teacher and her husband Simon is a interior designer. They got married and had their daughter Millie after multiple fertility treatments. Somewhere down the line Simon gave into his demons and started to abuse alcohol. We all know what alcoholism looks like and how certain people (especially spouses) like to make excuses for their loved ones's behaviors. That's exactly what Daisy does for Simon. Things start to go sideways for them and their relationship.
Throughout the story it gets very intense. Simon spirals into an even darker hole and keeps on lying to Daisy about everything. She just accepts the lies and continues dragging her self-esteem and peace of mind through the dirt in the process. The book really kept me on my toes. Huge thanks to Mira Books, NetGalley, and Harlequin book tours for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
