The Five Year Lie by Sarina Bowen
4.0
I don’t usually read thrillers but I love Sarina Bowen so this was a no-brainer.
The story starts in the present day with Ariel getting a text from Drew but Drew has been dead for 5 years. Understandably Ariel is freaked, so she starts digging and what she finds destroys everything she thought she knew.
I enjoyed this story. I like how it was written with snippets of things that happened in the past which tied in with what was going on in the present day. It gave me as the reader lots of insight about what was going on but without giving away the twists of the story. I also liked how we got the past POV from Drew so we got a full view of what was going on for him and not just speculation from Ariel. Wanting to find out what had happened to Drew kept me on the edge of my seat, I flew through most of the story pretty quickly.
I enjoyed Ariel for the most part, I could understand some of the time where she was coming from and why she behaved as she did. There were some very black and white views she had which was a little hard to get on board with but I felt she was a fully formed character.
Overall this was a great read and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys thrillers and to any fans of Sarina's other books, you really should give this one ago.
